In Illinois you must prove that your work accident caused the conditions for which you are being treated.
If your doctor will not be able to back you up and testify that your fall at work caused your shoulder injury, then you will lose your case.
From the start, make sure that you tell your doctor how the accident happened at work and how it hurt your back or shoulder.
At each visit remind the doctor of all the body parts injured, and how you are recovering.
This will help the medical records support your testimony at the end of the case, and get you the best settlement possible.
