How does the IWCC timeline shape Chicago work comp intake?+
Illinois requires employer notice within 45 days and an Application for Adjustment of Claim with the IWCC within three years. Our script captures date of injury, employer, body parts, average weekly wage and prior representation on the first call.
Where do Cook County injury cases get filed?+
The Law Division at the Richard J. Daley Center, 50 W Washington St — one of the busiest personal injury dockets in the country.
Does a CTA or city vehicle change the deadline?+
Yes. Claims against Illinois local public entities are limited to one year rather than two, so we flag CTA, Metra and municipal vehicles immediately at intake.
Does Sempull serve law firms throughout Chicago?+
Yes. Sempull is a remote-first bilingual intake company headquartered in Miami, Florida. We serve law firms across Chicago 24/7/365 — there's no geographic limit because every call is routed through cloud telephony to our live agents.
Are your agents licensed to give legal advice in Chicago?+
No — and that's by design. Our agents are professionally trained legal intake specialists, not attorneys. They follow your firm's qualification script, capture facts, screen for conflicts, and book qualified consultations. Legal advice is always provided by your licensed attorneys.
What's the timezone coverage for Chicago firms?+
24/7/365. We staff overnight, weekend, and holiday shifts specifically so firms don't lose after-hours leads to competitors. Average answer time is under 20 seconds regardless of when the call comes in.
Do you integrate with the case management systems law firms in Chicago use?+
Yes. We push qualified leads directly into Clio Grow, Lawmatics, CASEpeer, Litify, Filevine, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, and HubSpot. Custom webhooks available for anything else.
