Workers Compensation

Once you have completed treatment for your Illinois Work Comp injury the insurance company is supposed to offer you money to settle your case.

If this does not happen, then contact an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney right away to get your settlement.

What if have received an offer from the insurance company?

You should not be expected to understand if it is a good, bad or insulting offer.

The insurance company makes offers everyday.

You most likely have been injured once or twice in your career.

You should contact an Illinois Work Comp Attorney to review your offer with you.

It does not cost anything to speak with this type of attorney.

Illinois Work Injury lawyers are only paid if they recover money for you.

This protects you and levels the playing field with the insurance company.

You should contact us right away if you have not been paid your Illinois Workers’ Compensation benefits as a result of your work injury.

Many insurance companies neglect to pay injured workers their benefits after medical treatment is completed.

Do not let this happen to you.

No attorney fees are charged to you unless a recovery is made.

Illinois law provides payment for medical treatment, off work pay, and a settlement for the work accident itself.

This can represent a significant amount of money. That is why insurance companies do not want you to know about it.

When Illinois raises the minimum wage every year then it can raise your work comp settlement.

Why? The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act provides that your settlement is based on 60 percent of your average weekly wage the year before you were injured.

This means jobs that used to pay $8.25 an hour now pay $11.00.

$440.00 a week is different from $330.00 a week.

This can boost your settlement when you are done treating for your injury.

Many Workers’ Compensation insurance companies count on injured workers not knowing their rights and what the law promises.

In Illinois, Work Comp benefits are off work pay, paid medical benefits, and a settlement at the end of the case.

If you are not receiving your off work pay or medical bills are not being paid call an Illinois Work Comp lawyer right away.

It does not cost anything to contact an Illinois Work Comp Attorney. A lawyer is only paid when recovery is made for you.

At the end of the case you are entitled to payment for the value of the injury.

Do not forget this important benefit. Many insurance companies will “forget” to pay your settlement.
