About Us:
At Postman Law we are dedicated to creating a workplace where passionate professionals can make a real difference. Our team of experienced personal injury attorneys and case staff work together to advocate for individuals who have been wronged or injured. We guide clients through every step of their journey to ensure they receive the justice and compensation they deserve. Our mission is to achieve exceptional results for our clients, drive innovation in the practice of law, and pursue unparalleled excellence in everything we do.
Position Summary:
Postman Law is seeking an experienced Workers' Compensation Attorney to join our growing plaintiff-side practice in Chicago. You'll manage a caseload of Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (IWCC) matters from intake through resolution, advocating for injured workers and helping them secure the medical care and benefits they're entitled to. This is a strong fit for an attorney who wants ownership of their docket, room to grow, and the infrastructure of a scaling multi-state firm behind them.
Competitive compensation in the range of $120,000+, depending on experience, includes a base salary, bonus opportunities, and benefits.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage a full caseload of Illinois workers' compensation cases from opening through settlement or trial
  • Represent petitioners at arbitration hearings, pre-trial conferences, and settlement negotiations before the IWCC
  • Draft and file motions, petitions, settlement contracts, and other litigation documents
  • Negotiate settlements and lump-sum/structured resolutions on behalf of clients
  • Review and analyze medical records to evaluate claim strength, causation, and case value
  • Coordinate with medical providers to help clients access appropriate treatment
  • Take and defend depositions; conduct discovery as needed
  • Communicate regularly with clients, guiding them through each phase of the claims process
  • Collaborate with case staff to keep files moving
  • Keep current on changes to Illinois Workers' Compensation Act and IWCC procedure

Required Qualifications:
  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Licensed and in good standing with the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC)
  • 3-7 years of experience handling workers' compensation matters (petitioner side preferred)
  • Demonstrated litigation and negotiation experience, including hearings before the IWCC
  • Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills
  • Ability to independently manage a high-volume caseload with competing deadlines

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with medical record review and causation analysis in workers' compensation claims
  • Familiarity with case management platforms; specific experience with Litify highly preferred
  • Existing relationships with IWCC arbitrators, mediators, or the Chicago Workers' Compensation bar
