Just this week I have seen another person who was denied a Workers’ Compensation settlement.
Illinois law provides that an injured worker is entitled to payment of medical bills, pay for time off work, and payment for the injury itself.
What many Workers’ Compensation insurance companies will do is pay for the medical bills and for the missed time from work, but neglect to pay the settlement.
The insurance company bets on the injured worker not knowing enough to ask for the settlement, or taking the first offer the insurance company makes.
Do not be this person.
Make sure that you get all the rights provided to you pursuant to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.
You can consult with an experienced Illinois Work Comp lawyer for free.
Make sure that you understand what the insurance company is doing to you.
You can lose your settlement if you do not act soon enough.
Feel free to contact Illinois Work Comp Lawyer Dirk May at 309-827-4371 to help you get the settlement that you are entitled to.
