Does it pay to be patient in Illinois Workers’ Compensation cases?
Look at it this way. The more desperate you appear, the quicker it appears you want your money, the more reluctant you appear to be to go to trial in your case, the easier it is for the Work Comp insurance company to stick to a lower offer. They can sense when you have reached your need to resolve the case.
I realize it is difficult to battle through the stress and to overcome financial problems, but if you cannot fight back against the Work Comp company then you will not be able to be get the full value of your case.
In most cases, the best way to get full value is take the deposition of your doctors. This shows you mean business and locks in your doctor’s favorable testimony.
