Subrogation Claim Lawyers In Illinois
Employers often face significant financial burdens when an employee gets injured on the job and receives workers’ compensation benefits. This is where subrogation comes in. Subrogation allows employers to recover some of those costs by pursuing a third party that may have caused the injury. Understanding subrogation rights and statutory liens is essential, and working with a knowledgeable attorney helps protect your legal and financial interests from the start.
At Keefe & DePauli, P.C., we offer over 65 years of combined experience, spanning three generations of skilled lawyers.

Our legal team understands both the short and long-term impact these claims can have on your business, and we are here to help you navigate every step.
What Is Subrogation, And What Are Its Benefits?
Subrogation is the legal process allowing an employer or insurer to recover funds from a third party responsible for an employee’s injury. This right prevents double recovery for the injured worker and helps ensure the employer is not left covering the full cost.
Employers in Illinois and Missouri benefit from subrogation claims in the following ways:
- Recovering expenses related to medical bills and wage loss
- Reducing the financial impact on the business
- Lowering long-term insurance costs
Our reliable workers’ compensation lawyer can correctly and efficiently pursue the claim.
Legal Requirements And The Value Of Early Legal Involvement
Employers must follow specific laws when seeking reimbursement. In Illinois, third-party recovery is guided by detailed regulations that impact how funds are shared. Missing these legal steps can cost your business.
This makes early case assessment critical. A lawyer can:
- Identify potential third-party liability
- Preserve evidence that supports your claim
- Secure your right to reimbursement before deadlines pass
We can help you move forward with clarity and strategy.
