What about My Work Comp Medical Treatment?

Dirk May Workers Compensation , , ,

Illinois Workers’ Compensation law provides that you are entitled to medical treatment related to your work injury.

Some Work Comp insurance companies will ignore you or fail to authorize your medical treatment, and as a result your doctor will not be able to treat you.

You should contact an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney immediately if this happens to you.

Illinois Work Comp lawyers are not paid until they recover money for you at the end of the case, therefore you do not have to pay any upfront fees.

The lawyer can force the insurance company to provide written authorization to the doctor and get your needed medical treatment.

An example is if the doctor recommends back surgery and the insurance company will not respond to you or the doctor’s office.

Delayed treatment is bad for your health and prevents you from getting back to work.
