You need to know how attorney fees are paid in injury and Social Security Disability cases because it can make it much easier for you to obtain expert legal assistance.

There are no up front fees in Illinois Work Comp cases, personal injury cases, or Social Security Disability cases.

Workers’ Compensation in Illinois does not require the injury to be the fault of your employer. You are doing your job and the rioters hurt you, then you have the right to sue for Work Comp benefits.

The benefits include medical benefits, off work pay, and a settlement once your doctor releases you to return to work.
