Lately, I have seen some back cases that probably should not have been settled.
In Illinois Work Comp Law if you settle your case your medical rights are over in most situations.
If you have a trial and you win, you will at least reserve the right to future medical treatment.
This is key in back injuries. The problem is that many back cases get worse over time. The only way to protect yourself is to keep your medical rights open.
It takes some more time but it can be done to protect you in the future.
