Who We Are and How We Help
Insurance companies have a strategy. I know exactly what it is — because I've spent 16 years going up against it.
Whether you were hurt on the job, in a car accident, or on someone else's property, the insurer's goal is to pay you as little as possible. My job is to make sure that doesn't happen. I've handled more than 300 settled cases in Illinois workers' compensation and personal injury, and every single one started with an insurance company that didn't want to pay. Every single one ended differently.
I built Salgado Injury Law for workers and families who feel like the system wasn't built for them — people who need a real attorney in their corner, someone who speaks their language and picks up the phone.

How Working With Me Actually Works
Step 1
Free Consultation — No Commitment, No Cost
We talk. You tell me what happened, I tell you exactly where you stand. No legal jargon, no pressure. In English or Spanish, whichever is more comfortable for you.
Step 2
I Take Your Case — You Pay Nothing Upfront
I work on contingency. That means I only get paid when you win. There are no upfront fees, no retainers, and no invoices while your case is open.
Step 3
I Handle the Insurance Company
You focus on recovering. I handle the calls, the paperwork, the negotiations, and — if it comes to it — the hearing. You'll hear from me directly at every step, not a case manager.
Step 4
We Settle — or We Fight
Most cases settle. When they don't, I'm ready to take it further. Either way, the goal is the same: the full compensation you're owed.
Tu Caso,
En Tu Idioma
I conduct every consultation, case update, and legal explanation in the language that works best for you. If Spanish is your first language, you'll never need an interpreter, and you'll never be left guessing what's happening in your own case. I've built my practice around the Hispanic community in Chicago and the Fox Valley — in Carpentersville, Elgin, Aurora, Algonquin, and across Kane and McHenry Counties — because this community deserves an attorney who shows up for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay anything to hire you?
No. I work on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless I recover compensation for you. Your free consultation costs nothing, and there are no fees while your case is active.
Can I file a workers' comp claim if I'm undocumented?
Yes. In Illinois, workers' compensation rights apply to all workers regardless of immigration status. You have the right to file a claim, and I can walk you through the process confidentially.
Will I actually be able to speak with you — or will I get a call center?
You'll get me. I answer my own phone, I return my own calls, and I give most of my clients my personal cell number. There is no screening system between you and your attorney.
Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Yes. I conduct consultations, case updates, and all legal discussions in English or Spanish — whichever you prefer. You will never need an interpreter to understand what's happening in your case.
What kinds of cases do you handle?
I focus on workers' compensation and personal injury in Illinois — including workplace injuries, construction accidents, denied workers' comp claims, car accidents, truck accidents, and slip and fall cases. I also provide initial evaluations for medical malpractice matters and refer those cases to specialist firms when appropriate.
What areas do you serve?
My practice is based in the Chicago metro and Fox Valley region, including Cook, Kane, and McHenry Counties. I also handle cases statewide across Illinois on a fully virtual basis.
