Workers Compensation

Work Comp is Denying My Surgery

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law protects the person who has a work related injury.

It provides that the injured worker’s related medical treatment is to be paid.

It pays the injured worker when they are off work.

It pays a settlement to the injured worker when all the medical treatment is completed.

Workers’ Compensation insurance companies do not want to pay your bills, your off work pay, or your settlement.

They will delay and deny medical treatment.

They will send you to see their medical doctors to keep you from getting a surgery.

If you are not getting your surgery, your off work pay, or your settlement, then call us immediately.

It does not cost any upfront money to see a Work Comp Attorney. Lawyers are only paid when they win money for you.

When Should I File My Work Comp Case?

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Illinois law requires you to file your Workers’ Compensation case within 3 years of the date of accident.

This time limit may be extended two years from the last time the Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier or your employer pays you benefits or pays for your medical benefits.

You most likely will not want to wait until the last moment to file your application with the State of Illinois.

Do not confuse reporting your injury to your employer or your insurance company with filing an application of claim.

It is not good enough to tell your employer that you were injured on the job.

Filing an application of claim protects your rights to medical benefits, off work pay, and the settlement.

You also need an application of claim on file to be able to proceed with a hearing before an Illinois Work Comp Arbitrator.

Illinois Work Comp law can become very confusing.

An experienced Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney can help guide you through the complex law and rules.

No upfront fees to a lawyer are required. You only pay 20 percent for fees when you recover money.
