Illinois Personal Injury Lawyer
Michael T. Wierzbicki
Mike Wierzbicki is an aggressive trial lawyer who is passionate about helping people who have been seriously injured.

Since joining Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates in 2002, Mike has become a force with distinction, obtaining many millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for personal injury victims and their families. He consistently fights for the powerless against insurance companies, corporations and government agencies. Mike is especially familiar with medical issues because, early on in his legal career, he defended doctors and hospitals in medical malpractice cases.

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
Mark Weissburg
Mark Weissburg excels at explaining the basic rights and benefits of workers’ compensation and the often unknown roles of insurance adjusters, doctors and lawyers. Mark Weissburg devotes his entire law practice to workers’ compensation and to other closely related areas of the law. Mark has helped thousands of injured workers get their share of the millions of dollars of benefits they are entitled to.
To make the powerful field of workers’ compensation more understandable to injured Illinois laborers, Mark authored a 2007 paperback titled How to Win a Worker’s Compensation Claim in Illinois. As Mark explains in the text, the severity of workplace injuries covered by workers’ compensation varies widely. Many of Mark’s clients have experienced extremely severe injuries. But even when an injury is less disabling, Mark knows how to manage the workers’ compensation claim that follows. A workers’ compensation attorney, armed with experience and the knowledge of countless rules and regulations can achieve a better settlement or trial result.
