An Illinois Law Firm Dedicated to Workers' Compensation Defense
Knell & Kelly, L.L.C., is a Peoria-based law firm dedicated almost exclusively to the defense of workers' compensation claims.
Within this practice, defense attorneys at our firm represent workers' compensation insurance carriers, third-party administrators, self-insureds and employers ranging in size from "mom and pop" employers and small municipalities to some of the largest corporations operating in the State of Illinois.
In terms of service, our firm handles a full range of the issues associated with workers' compensation defense and provides aggressive, high-quality representation in matters pending before arbitrators, commissioners and appellate courts throughout the state.
What Makes Our Workers' Compensation Defense Practice Different?
First, we share our clients' goals of either: A) Winning the case; or B) Obtaining the best possible resolution of the matter in an expedient fashion.
To that end, we adhere to a self-imposed deadline to provide you a thorough, written evaluation of the case within 10 days of taking it on. This document will provide you with a detailed legal blueprint of the issues involved, an outline of your options and specific steps we would suggest for moving forward — steps that will be based on an honest assessment as to whether the case should be defended strongly or that settlement is a better course of action.
Second, we try cases. In fact, we try dozens of them every year. Furthermore, we do not string cases along all the way to trial with the intention of settling them at the last minute. We take cases to trial because we know the laws, we understand the medical issues and we are convinced we will prevail.
Third, we are all about service. From the beginning to the conclusion of every matter, we show respect for our clients' needs, goals and resources by working to deliver results as efficiently as possible, by communicating proactively throughout and by providing legal services that show quality and attention to detail in every respect.
