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.
