The Joker and Work Comp

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Warning: spoiler alert.

Let’s look at what the Joker tells us about Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims and the law.

Can the police who are hurt while chasing the Joker claim Workers’ Compensation benefits?

Yes, chasing bad guys is clearly part of the police officers’ jobs. It does not matter that the bad guys are intentionally trying to hurt the officers. The officers are entitled to medical benefits, time off work pay, and settlement pay for the injuries.

Can the Joker get work comp when he is beat up on his clown job?

Yes, but considering his boss is a jerk he may not carry workers’ compensation insurance. In Illinois it is against the law, but it happens.

Can the families of the Wall Streeters who are killed on the subway file a claim?

No, there were not on their job or in the course of their employment. They also instigated the violence.

Can the talk show host’s family claim work injury benefits?

Yes, Illinois has death benefits for injuries that occur on the job.

What to do with a Work Injury and Social Security Disability

Dirk May Social Security Disability, Workers Compensation , , ,

The combination of a work injury and a Social Security Disability filing makes for a complicated situation.

A workers’ compensation award or settlement has the potential to reduce or wipe out your Social Security Disability benefits if you are not careful.

This may result because the Federal Government has written the law in such a way as to offset disability benefits when you receive Workers’ Compensation.

The government allows you to write settlement contracts in a way that is favorable to you. However, you must follow the rules or you will be penalized.

Do not settle a Workers’ Compensation claim without it being examined thoroughly by an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer.

How Important are Medical Records to Your Injury Case

Dirk May Social Security Disability, Workers Compensation , , ,

Whether you have a work injury case or a Social Security Disability case the medical records will tell the tale of whether you win or lose.

The Arbitrator or Judge will examine the medical records closely to determine how you were hurt, what injuries you sustained, your medical treatment, how your injuries limit your activities.

Make sure that your medical records accurately reflect the reality of your injury and your condition.

Tell the doctor and nurses if you were hurt at work and how it happened.

Tell the medical providers all the body parts that are injured

Tell your doctors how you hurt now and how it bothers your lifting, walking, standing, or use of your hands and arms.

Do you need to elevate your legs throughout the day? Tell the doctor.

Do you need a cane or brace? Tell the doctor.

Make sure that your medical records help your case, not hurt it.
