There are things to be thankful for even in the middle of pain, loss, and suffering.
Sometimes we just need time to think about what we have, what we had, and what we have to look forward to.
Let us spend some time on Thanksgiving reflecting on everything that has been given to us.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Looks like some public relations and legal maneuvers to drag things out. Mediation is often used to settle the case short of trial. Avoids uncertainty and often saves time. However, both parties must agree.

Wow. Church turns it on its head. Way to make it worse. These poor children were preyed upon and then blamed for it. The victims are right to complain and seek damages.
With sadness we announce the death of Steven Williams today.
Steve was a great partner, lawyer, husband and father.
He will be missed.
Rest in peace.
Last week we discussed back injuries.
Another area of large settlements in Illinois Workers’ Compensation cases involve shoulder injuries.
One reason is that the law values the shoulder as part of the person as a whole worth a total of 500 weeks.
Once again this is the largest amount of total weeks for body parts.
The shoulder is vital to being able to work, of course, because it impacts activities such as reaching, lifting, handling and fingering.
Many shoulder injuries result in surgery.
Surgeries increase the value of your case.
Shoulders are often difficult to repair and difficult to return to pre-injury status.
Permanent limitations in lifting, reaching, handling and fingering will also increase the value of your settlement.
