The main problem injured workers have is finding a lawyer who will take their case to trial.
You should ask your prospective attorney if they are willing to bring your Workers Compensation case to trial. If they will not, then your settlement value will drop.
In addition, the only way you can get open medical benefits is to have a trial.
If your Workers Compensation Lawyer will not bring your case to trial you have the right to seek another attorney.
Remember this is your case, the attorney works for you.
I have brought cases to trial for many Workers Compensation clients throughout Central Illinois- Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, Decatur and Champaign, Illinois.
