In Illinois if you have permanent restrictions the value of your settlement may increase.
Make sure to ask your doctor to describe your permanent limitations or restrictions in the medical records.
This may range from curtailed hours of work, lifting limits, restrictions with handling or fingering, or reduced standing or walking.
Reminding your doctor about your restrictions never hurts and it may increase the amount of money you will receive.
