Talking to Your Injury Doctor is Important

Dirk May Social Security Disability, Workers Compensation , , ,

What you tell your doctor at the time of your injury, and as you receive medical treatment is very important.

The reason is that Judges give great weight to what you tell the doctor at the time of the accident and how your body is responding to treatment.

If your story changes at the time of trial, or conflicts with what shows up in your medical records, then the Judge may suspect you are seeking monetary gain from your injury.

However, if your testimony at trial is consistent with what you have told the doctor all along the Judge will find you believable.

For instance, make sure to tell your doctor how you were injured on the job and all the body parts that are injured.

It is also important to explain limitations you experience as a result of the injury, along with any pain and ongoing problems.

Where is my off Work Pay?

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law requires your employer to pay you if you are off work because of an injury at work.

Make sure to contact an Illinois Work Comp lawyer if you are not being paid.

Some insurance companies “forget to pay”, or want to make you think they do not have to pay you, or dispute your claim.

Whatever the reason you are entitled to 66 percent of your average weekly wage tax free.

It does not cost anything up front to get a lawyer.

The Illinois Workers’ Compensation law requires a lawyer to wait to be paid 20 percent of the recovery until you are paid. This makes it easy to get a lawyer to help you fight for your money.

The insurance company has a number of lawyers, so make sure you are represented also.
