Your Illinois Work Comp settlement must be examined carefully before you sign off on it.
Make sure that your medical bills are paid. The insurance company may say the bills are paid. However, you must verify or you will have to pay the bills on your own.
Has your time off work been paid? If not, why not? It should be included in your settlement contract.
Are you being paid a settlement for your injury? Is it a fair amount? This all depends on the nature of the injury, the treatment required, and any limitations you have as a result of your injury.
