Another good example of what Insurance Companies will do to you if you are not careful.
Someone called the other day and told me that Work Comp had paid for the surgery and their time off work.
However, Work Comp had never offered a settlement. Now it was too late. The injured worker had waited too long. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law only allows you so long to file your Application of Claim. If you do not file in time you lose your rights to compensation, and a settlement.
Hard lesson to learn. But, you must pay attention. It is not the Insurance Company’s job to protect your rights.
If you injured on the job you are entitled to time off work pay, medical bills paid, and your settlement or what is called permanent partial disability.
