In Illinois there is no hard and fast rule for the value of your Workers’ Compensation case.
Some states have schedules for certain types of injuries that will tell you the settlement value.
However, in Illinois the value depends on case law that has developed over time and the politics of Illinois government.
Understanding the correct settlement value is important to making your decision regarding how to proceed with your case.
If you under value your case, then you may leave money on the table and you will settle for less than it is truly worth.
If you over value your case, then you may wait longer for your settlement and spend more money pursing your case than is necessary.
It is important to get the right amount of money for your case so you can use the money for what you want sooner rather than later.
Make sure to speak with an experienced Illinois Work Comp Lawyer to find out the value for your case. It does not cost any money to speak with an Illinois Work Comp Lawyer. Lawyers are only paid if they recover money for you.
