Recent Illinois Workers’ Compensation Activity
I have had the opportunity to speak at two Illinois Workers’ Compensation seminars this summer.
The consensus among the lawyers who presented at the seminars is that the deadlock among legislators and the Governor will continue regarding changes in the Workers’ Compensation law.
Nothing will happen until after the November election and a new legislature is seated in January 2017.
In some ways the budget stalemate has helped injured workers because changes the would damage injured workers’ rights have not been enacted.
Some recent important court cases have clarified the Illinois Workers’ Compensation law.

Clearly shows that no one wins in these type of cases. How can money pay for a lifetime of pain and limitations.

First Things to Do When You have Been Hurt in Motor Vehicle Collision
Being injured is never pleasant.
Pain, fear and chaos take over.
The purpose of this blog post is to give a few simple steps to make sure that you stay on track when things seem out of control.
Make sure that you go to the hospital or your doctor immediately.
Some people are afraid of medical professionals.
Waiting will only make it worse for your health and your potential case against the negligent driver.
If an ambulance is offered make sure that you go so that the doctors and emergency personnel have the opportunity to check out all your injuries as soon as possible.
Go to your personal doctor after you have been to the hospital.
This will give your doctor a chance to examine you several days after the incident and discover any additional problems.
Make sure that you ask your doctor to refer you to see the appropriate specialists such as a back doctor or an orthopedic surgeon for your knees or arms.
Follow up with all recommended treatment. Failure to comply with the doctor’s treatment plan may leave you open to charges that you would have recovered completely if you followed orders.
