In Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law restrictions related to your work injury are very important.
The restrictions can increase the value of your settlement.
The value increases because it shows concrete evidence of permanent partial disability, and limits the type of jobs you may be able to perform.
Some examples of restrictions are no lifting beyond 20 pounds, occasional use of the arms, or sit down work only.
The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Company should offer you more money based on your restrictions.
