One of the most important things you can do when you are hurt at work is to give a clear statement to your doctor as soon as possible about how your injury happened at work and what body parts were hurt.
This will make your Illinois Work Comp case much stronger and make easier for you to reach a higher settlement.
The Illinois Work Comp Arbitrator pays close attention to what you tell your doctor just after your work accident.
In summary, go to your doctor right away after your work injury, tell the doctor how your work accident happened, and describe all the body parts that were injured.
