Work Injury Not Covered?

Has the insurance company told you that Illinois law does not cover your work injury?

Make sure that you check with an Illinois Workers’ Compensation lawyer first.

Insurance companies do not want you to know about this case.

Make sure to contact an Illinois Work Comp attorney to review your case.

This can make a big difference in whether you are able to get your medical bills paid, time off work paid and get a settlement paid to you.

An Illinois Work Injury lawyer only gets paid if you win your case.

What Not to Do if Hurt at Work

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

More examples of real life mistakes when hurt on the job.

What will happen if you are hurt on the job and you tell the plant nurse or work supervisor that you are not sure if you were hurt on the job?

What will happen if you go to the doctor and you fail to explain that you were hurt while lifting boxes at work?

The Work Comp judge, called an Arbitrator, gives the most weight to what you told the supervisor or plant nurse at the time of the accident.

The Arbitrator gives the most weight to what you told the doctor, at the visit near the time of your accident, was the cause of your injury.

Waiting 6 months to a year later and saying that it was work accident is too late.

File a work incident report immediately to protect your rights even if it turns out to be a slight injury or just a muscle strain.

Go to the doctor right away and explain how it happened it work.

Better to have everything documented and not need the protections of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act, than attempt to get thousands of dollars in medical bills paid after having a surgery and undergoing lengthy physical therapy.
