About Our Personal Injury Law Firm

Hanagan & McGovern is a southern Illinois personal injury and workers’ compensation law firm with our main office located in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. We handle injury and workers’ compensation cases in all of southern Illinois.  Steve Hanagan and Brian McGovern have over 50 years of combined focused experience handling workers’ compensation, injury, disability, and death claims.  In fact, it is the only work they do.  That puts them light-years ahead of their competitors in the area who handle other matters like DUI defense, divorce, and family law cases and a few injury claims in their spare time.  See what our clients have to say about us.

Steve and Brian are both published authors in the field of Illinois Workers’ Compensation law, writing articles for the Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education which provide important information for other lawyers  handling workers’ compensation matters. Because of their concentrated experience with workers’ compensation claims, both Steve and Brian have served as expert witnesses in court cases involving workers compensation disputes.  They also regularly handle referrals from other attorneys in personal injury and workers’ comp claims when those cases are beyond the abilities of the referring lawyers.  Both Steve and Brian have been hired to represent many people who also work in the personal injury and workers’ compensation claims field, including doctors, lawyers, insurance adjusters, nurse case managers, vocational rehabilitation counselors, hospital business office workers, insurance claims attorneys, and private investigators.  When people who work in the system day in and day out hire Hanagan & McGovern to represent their own interests, and other attorneys practicing injury law rely on them, you can trust them with your claim as well.
