Before you settle your Workers or Workman’s Compensation in Illinois there are some important areas that need to covered.
First, all your medical bills need to have been paid or the contract must specifically contain language that will make the Workers Compensation Insurance company responsible for the bills. Once you sign the contract you are responsible for any future bills unless otherwise provided in the contract, and if you do not make sure past bills are paid or taken care of then you will have to pay for them out of your settlement.
Second, all your time off work must be paid and the amounts set out in the contract.
Third, you must have a specific amount in the contract for your permanent partial disability or injury. More about this in my next post.
