Why Surgeries Matter in Illinois Work Injury Cases

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Most workers’ compensation cases result in higher values when surgeries are involved.

This includes surgeries such as lumbar disc repairs, spinal fusions, rotator cuff repairs, knee replacements, and surgical repair of fractures.

Traditionally, surgeries result in more money because Arbitrators understand that surgeries are serious, invasive, and may permanently alter the anatomy, function and structure of the body.

Lies Work Comp Insurance Companies tell You

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Many workers’ compensation companies will tell an injured worker that we will pay your medical bills and pay you while you are off work.

Then they are silent about paying any settlement money.

Or they will tell the injured worker that they are not entitled to any settlement money.

In Illinois if you are injured on the job you should receive some type of settlement.

Do not let the insurance company lie to you.

Surgeries and Your Work Comp Case

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Arbitrators provide increased value for awards and settlements when your injury requires surgery or results in permanent restrictions.

Illinois Work Comp law does not address pain and suffering. It focuses on permanent partial disability.

Arbitrators believe that surgery has a permanent effect on your life going forward.

While you have no control over the doctor’s opinion whether you need surgery or not, it does impact your work injury case and the amount of money you will receive.

Other factors include the wage at your job when you were injured.

Do Your Work Comp Case a Big Favor

What is the best way to insure that you will recover the maximum money in your Illinois Workers’ Compensation case?

Make a clear, straight forward explanation of your work injury to the Doctor.

For instance, I tripped over a shovel at work and twisted my right knee. It popped and there was immediate pain.

Failure to explain clearly how your injury happened and that it happened at work will cause you all kinds of problems and may even result in the loss of your case.
