It is always a good idea to get your attorney involved in the Illinois Workers’ Compensation process as soon as possible.
This protects you from damaging your case and makes sure that you maximize your settlement.
If you wait too long, then a lawyer may not be able to help you.
For instance, an experienced Work Comp lawyer can help you deal with the insurance company from the beginning and prevent mistakes that you may not be able to recover from.
Using a lawyer signals to the insurance company that you are serious and that they will not be able to take advantage of you.
You will definitely need a lawyer if the insurance company is low balling you or denying your claim. Your lawyer will be able to get you into court and prepare your for the hearing before the arbitrator. The lawyer will explain the questions you be asked and the evidence you will need.
The ideal situation is to go to an experienced Illinois Work Comp lawyer and get immediate assistance with filing your application, getting the medical records and bills and medical testimony, and preparing you for the hearing questions. This gives you the best shot at winning and getting the best settlement possible.
There are no attorney fees unless you win, and they are paid at the time you receive your money so this makes it much easier to get a lawyer to help you.
