What you tell your doctor at the time of your injury, and as you receive medical treatment is very important.
The reason is that Judges give great weight to what you tell the doctor at the time of the accident and how your body is responding to treatment.
If your story changes at the time of trial, or conflicts with what shows up in your medical records, then the Judge may suspect you are seeking monetary gain from your injury.
However, if your testimony at trial is consistent with what you have told the doctor all along the Judge will find you believable.
For instance, make sure to tell your doctor how you were injured on the job and all the body parts that are injured.
It is also important to explain limitations you experience as a result of the injury, along with any pain and ongoing problems.

Those Workers’ Compensation insurance companies will do the darnedest things.
Someone called our law office today and said that his hand was broken while working on a machine at the job site. He related that the plant nurse told him it was not a workers’ compensation injury.
Illinois law is clear that this injury is compensable.
The injured worker is entitled to medical treatment, time off work pay, and a settlement at the end of the case.
Just because a supervisor, nurse, or insurance company adjuster tells you that a claim is denied or not work related does not mean it is true.
Make sure to speak with an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney immediately to protect your interests.
It does not cost any upfront money to speak with an Illinois work comp lawyer. All fees are limited to 20 percent of recovery at the end of the case.
