What do you do when your Workers’ Compensation insurance company denies your claim and tells you they will not pay for any more medical treatment or pay for your time off work?

Some insurance companies will legitimately deny a person based on medical information or accident information, however some insurance companies will deny an injured worker in hopes that the person will drop the case.

If you have a bona fide injury, then you should contact an experienced Illinois Work Comp Attorney to help you.

Do not let the insurance company try to bluff you.

If you have suffered a work injury you are entitled to off work pay, medical treatment, and a settlement.

An Illinois Workers’ Compensation lawyer can tell you if you have a compensable case and what you need to do to win.

It does not cost any upfront money to hire a lawyer. In Illinois a lawyer is only paid when you get paid. The fee is limited to 20 percent of your recovery.

Assuming the broken finger was a work injury, the consequences of nurses who improperly treat the injury is also covered in Illinois.  The work comp insurance company would be required to pay for the amputation. The injured worker would also have the right to sue the nurse for malpractice.

Work Comp Alert

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.
