What Increases Your Work Injury Settlement?
In Illinois the value of your settlement is based on your earnings the year before you were injured at work.
The higher your wages, the more your settlement increases.
For instance, someone who earns $12 an hour will have a lower base than the worker who earns $30 per hour. The same injury will be worth more to the higher wage worker.
The type of medical treatment impacts the amount of your settlement. Someone who has only physical therapy will be receive less money than someone who undergoes surgery.
If you have permanent restrictions the value of your case increases dramatically. This would include limits on standing, walking, and lifting.
Do not let the insurance company tell you something about your settlement that is not based in the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.
Verify everything with an experienced Illinois Workers’ Compensation lawyer.

Watch for this Work Comp Scam
Some insurance companies are taking advantage of injured workers.
The companies believe that people injured on the job are unaware of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation laws and the benefits available as a result.
Illinois workers injured at work are entitled to payment of medical bills, off work pay, and a settlement at the end of the case.
If you have not been paid any of these benefits you should contact an Illinois Work Comp lawyer immediately.
A lawyer is not paid any fees until money is recovered for you.
Do not let a Workers’ Compensation insurance company take any money from you if you are injured on the job.
If you have not been paid your settlement money, feel free to contact Illinois Work Comp Lawyer Dirk May at 309-827-4371.
