Heather Boyer

Overview

As a shareholder at Nyhan, Heather Boyer (she/her) concentrates her trial and appellate practice in Workers’ Compensation and has conducted hundreds of hearings throughout the entire State of Illinois. A large portion of her practice centers around Staffing Agencies and Self-Insured clients.

With nearly two decades of experience practicing law in Illinois, Heather guides clients through each matter’s unique circumstances in order to help them achieve the best outcome possible.  She believes in a hands-on approach to each case, and often visits the insured’s place of business to speak with witnesses, take pictures of the scene of the accident, and meet with Supervisors so she has an advantage in creating a picture of the claim to the court.

Outside of her client work, Heather frequently shares insights in speaking engagements at leading industry organizations, including the Illinois Self-Insurer’s Association and various preferred provider programs.

She is a former Board Member of The Jackson Chance Foundation, which pays for the parking of families that have a baby in the NICU in the city of Chicago. As the parent of the longest-standing resident of Lurie Children’s Hospital NICU department, Heather saw single-handedly how the cost of parking affected families and she believes that no family should have to choose between paying their monthly bills or visiting their sick child in the hospital.
