Perry, Alexander S.

Daniel H. Periaswamy is a Workers' Compensation Attorney for the past 19 years. Mr. Periaswamy represents injured workers and their families throughout the state of Illinois. His dedication and service to his clients are the guiding principles of his practice of law. No case is too big or too small, no task or duty too great or too menial and every client is entitled to his full attention when in person or on the phone.

Over his career, Mr. Periaswamy has settled more than 2000 Illinois Workers' Compensation claims and recovered in excess of $20 Million for his clients. He has settled a number of claims over $200,000 including a $238,000 settlement - 5 times greater than the "final" offer. By citing case law and relevant portions of the Workers' Compensation Act, he showed his client was entitled to a wage differential rather than only permanent disability. Mr. Periaswamy has tried cases both big and small. He won a $20,000 award on a totally disputed claim by successfully arguing his client was entitled to benefits despite an apparent handbook violation, by citing case law supportive of workers who follow the established practices of the employer. He recently won a 19(b) hearing awarding his client full wage and medical benefits, including a back surgery, despite several defense witnesses and exhibits.

Mr. Periaswamy is well-regarded by his clients, fellow Attorneys as well as insurance adjusters for his collegiality, honesty and fair-dealing. While the majority of his career has been spent representing workers, his experience in claims handling has helped form his even-handed approach and temperament and sincere consideration of contrary positions or viewpoints. In the small universe of Illinois Workers' Compensation, these attributes have proven invaluable in the successful representation of his many clients throughout the years.
