If you think your Work Comp injury is keeping you from working permanently, do you have to look for a job?
Yes, the best proof of not being able to work in Illinois Workers’ Compensation cases is a job search.
Some people do not want to look for a job because it takes too much time, or it is inconvenient, or you are on Social Security Disability.
Look at it this way: the settlement value of your case increases dramatically if you perform a job search and you cannot work.
You are not required to actually take the job if you do not want it.
The job search will take some effort and time, but it is solid proof of the extent of the damage you have suffered.
