If you are injured at work in Illinois do not expect your employer or the insurance company to take care of you, or to pay for your medical bills, or your time off work , or your settlement money.
Your employer and the Illinois Workers’ Compensation insurance company are protecting their own interests, not yours.
They want to save money for themselves.
The more money they pay you, the less money they have for themselves.
It is simple economics.
You need to make sure that you are getting your medical treatment, and getting paid if you are off work, and finally getting your settlement money.
In Illinois you can get a Work Comp lawyer without paying any upfront legal fees. You only pay 20 percent of whatever you recover at the end of your case. In other words, a lawyer will work for you and protect your interests and recover money for you. You only pay after all this is done and you have the money in your pocket.
Do not let the insurance company have all the lawyers and protection.
Only you can act to protect yourself.
