People, the Government and Businesses use the knowledge they possess to their advantage.
Just look around you.
Those who have knowledge of systems, procedures and markets have great control over others and make a lot of money from this knowledge.
It is not any different in the Illinois Workers’ Compensation system.
Insurance companies want to you to believe that your injuries do not entitle you to payment from them. Or that the payment is very small.
You must be very careful with the information the insurance companies present to you.
Do not take the Workers’ Compensation insurance company statements at face value.
If they tell you we do not have to pay your medical bills, do not accept this and go away.
If they tell you we do not have to pay you while you are off work with your injury, do not accept this and go away.
If they tell you we do not have to pay you for your injury, do not accept this and go away.
If they tell you we only have to pay you a small amount of money for your injury, do not accept this and go away.
Make sure you talk to people with knowledge of the Illinois Work Comp system and who have the same interests that you do.
Feel free to call Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Dirk May at 309-827-4371 to discuss what the insurance company has told you.
