Tragic end in a bad place. That is why Illinois has laws to protect the elderly in nursing homes.
Law
Good News- You Are Entitled to A Workers’ Compensation Settlement
The law in Illinois provides that you are entitled to a Workers’ Compensation settlement if you are injured on the job and you can prove it.
Some Insurance Companies are failing to tell injured workers that they are entitled to a settlement or they are telling them that the law has changed and they cannot get any settlement.
This information is false.
If you do not settle your claim within a specified amount of time or file an application of claim pursuant to the Illinois law, then your right to a settle will be forever waived.
Make sure that you do not lose your rights to your work injury settlement.
Consult with an experienced Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyer immediately to make sure that you get the money you deserve.
Do not rely on information from the Workers’ Compensation company who does not have your interests in mind.
Any attorney’s fees are limited to 20 percent of your recovery and are not payable until you get your money.

Hand Injuries and Social Security Disability
Injuries and problems with your hands severely limit your ability to perform many jobs.
Social Security Vocational consultants will testify that are only very few sit down jobs that will allow you to work with only occasional use of your hands for handling and fingering. There may be a few more jobs in the light category that require only occasional handling and fingering.
This is important in Social Security Disability cases because if you can prove that you are limited to occasional handling and fingering and there are no jobs or very limited jobs available, then you will be found disabled.
The important aspect of these cases is being able to prove you are severely restricted in the use of your hands.
It helps to have xrays of your hands showing advanced arthritis.
It also helps to have an EMG/NCV test showing severe neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome that is not operable.
Any type of diagnostic testing that explains why your hands are burning, numb, tingling, or crippled will help you.
Sometimes you can get functional testing of your hands to detail the limits of grasping, handling and fingering.
Your doctor may also examine your hands and describe their findings and come up with her opinion regarding your limitations.

Certainly a tragic event. Shows different types of cases that may result from a collision. In one case you must show negligence on the part of the bus driver to recover. The bus driver’s family may file a workers’ compensation claim even if there is not any negligence or if he is at fault.

Shows the tragic nature of life. The only way we have of measuring loss in a person’s life is money reflecting lost earning power, ability to perform daily activities and the ability to enjoy loved ones, friends and life.
