Workers’ Compensation cases in Illinois can not be settled until you are done with your medical treatment.
The Arbitrator will not be able to determine the value of your case until the nature of your treatment is clear and your restrictions are outlined.
Sometimes this takes several years. If you are not being paid, you can have an emergency trial to decide whether money is owed to you for time off work.
Once treatment is complete you will also need to compile all your medical bills so they can be presented for payment.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding settling your Workers’ Compensation case.
