Make Sure You Understand the Judge

Dirk May Help, Social Security Disability, Workers Compensation , , ,

Understanding the Judge in your Social Security Disability and Workers’ Compensation cases is very important.

An experienced Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability lawyer will understand what the Judge expects and their temperament.

The lawyer can give you insight into the questions that will be asked at the trial and why they are being asked.

Some Judges are arrogant and expect to be treated with great deference.

Other Judges are easy going and just want to do the right thing by the law and the evidence.

Whatever the type of Judge you may have, respond and act politely and it will help you.

Make sure that you explain your accident, condition and limitations in a way that is believable and paints an accurate picture of your daily activities.

Expert help is available to you with no upfront costs.

Social Security Disability cases and Workers’ Compensation cases restrict attorney fees to a percentage of your recovery at the end of the case.

This ensures that the lawyer is not paid unless you recover money.

What a horrible collision. The purpose of the law is to attempt to provide monetary damages to people  or their families who suffer serious injury or death.

Another Tip for Work Injuries

Arbitrators in Illinois Workers’ Compensation cases rely heavily on what is called the “history of accident” found in medical records.

The Arbitrator is the Judge who makes the decision in your case.

If the Arbitrator does not find the proper history of accident or injury in the records she may deny your case and you will receive no money for your claim.

The basis for relying on the history of accident in the medical records is that what you tell the doctor or hospital workers at the time of your work injury will be the closest to the truth because it happened at or near the time of the accident versus something you tell the Arbitrator or someone else months or several years later.

For instance, if there is nothing in the medical records regarding your work accident then you most likely lose your case.

If the history of accident in the medical records is dramatically different from your testimony at trial, or if the description of the accident changes over time then you will most likely lose your case.

Make sure that on your first hospital or doctor visit that you tell each person your injury happened at work, how it happened and what body parts were injured.

Write down this information and take it with you to each medical visit.

This will make your Workers’ Compensation case strong when the insurance company tries to deny your claim.

No one has a crystal ball, however I do not think the backlog of disability cases can get much worse unless the new administration just defunds SSA and turns out the lights.
