What is an Illinois Work Comp Settlement?

In Illinois as part of your work accident you are entitled to payment to compensate you for your work injuries.

The settlement should be paid after your medical treatment is complete and the doctor has returned you to work.

Some insurance companies will close your work injury case after you have returned to work without paying you the settlement.

Make sure you understand that under Illinois law you should get the settlement money.

The insurance company hopes you do not understand the law and walk away from the money you are entitled to.

You can contact an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyer to get your settlement without any upfront costs. You only have to pay a 20 percent fee if you recover money.
