Another Missed Work Comp Settlement

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Another person called our office this week with a familiar story.

Their Illinois Workers’ Compensation insurance company paid them while off work, but never paid the final settlement money.

It is a pattern we are seeing.

Insurance companies are hoping that you will leave your money with them to increase their profits.

It is being done at your expense.

Illinois law provides you with the right to settlement money if you are injured on the job.

There is no law that requires the Work Comp insurance company to notify you of your settlement.

Do not be a victim.

2 Parts of Your Injury Case

Dirk May Insurance, Lawyers, Settlements ,

Illinois law requires you to prove 2 things if you are injured.

This includes injuries from a car or truck crash, or falls on someone’s property.

The first thing you must prove is that the party who injured you is negligent.

Negligence means that someone has a duty towards you that is broken or not met.

For instance, other drivers have a duty to obey traffic signals, signs, and to travel at a safe speed.

The second part of your injury case is to prove damages.

Damages are medical treatment such as medications, injections and surgery.

It also includes permanent limitations such as reduced ability to lift or reduced range of motion.

Loss of salary or income is also part of damages.
