Work Comp will not Authorize Your Treatment?

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law provides 3 benefits for injured workers.

The first benefit is paying for medical treatment.

The second benefit is payment while you are off work.

The third benefit is payment for the value of the work injury.

Payment for your medical treatment is very important. If you cannot obtain medical treatment then you cannot get better and back to work.

If the insurance company does not pay for the medical treatment or will not authorize it, then call an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney right away.

It does not cost you anything to hire an Illinois Work Comp lawyer. The reason is that the law allows an injured worker to hire a lawyer immediately and they do not have pay the lawyer until the case is settled and money is available to the injured worker.

Make sure to get your important medical treatment as soon as you can.

When to get Your Illinois Work Comp Settlement

Illinois Workers’ Compensation law allows you to get your work injury settlement after you have completed your medical treatment.

Most Illinois work injuries will result in permanent damage and this means you are entitled to recover money from the insurance company.

Permanent damage means things such as fractures, surgical repairs, hernias, severe strains, permanent restrictions.

Once you have been released from the doctor the insurance company should contact you and offer you money for your injury.

If they do not make an offer see an Illinois Work Comp Attorney right away.

Some insurance companies will hope you do not know the law and walk away without getting any money.

Some insurance companies will give you a low offer and hope you will take it to save themselves money.

You should contact an Illinois Workers’ Compensation lawyer to discuss your offer. There is no fee unless the attorney can recover money for you.
