Donald W. Fohrman & Associates, Ltd . is a Chicago-based, workers' compensation  law firm.

Over the past 39 years, we have successfully represented thousands of workers,  from secretaries, to flight attendants, to union trade workers,  who have been injured on-the-job. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

• Every worker injured on-the-job is entitled to compensation for their injuries. .

• We believe that every client we represent should understand the workers' compensation claim process.  We will spend as much time as needed to make sure our clients are kept informed and able to make  important decisions regarding their case.

• We understand that our clients look to our firm for guidance at what can be a very difficult time.  Communication is of the utmost importance. If you contact our office we will be more than happy to provide you with a status of your claim and  will return all telephone calls promptly.

• We don't "play both sides of the fence." Our representation is limited to the injured worker.  We never have and never will represent an employer, their agents, or an insurance company.
