The Illinois Supreme Court rules that Work Comp settlement is protected from creditors in certain circumstances.

Union workers injured on the job are entitled to a settlement.

Illinois law provides that an injured worker may receive medical benefits, off work pay, and settlement pay for the injury.

Some insurance companies will “forget” to pay the injured worker the settlement.

This saves the insurance companies thousands of dollars over time.

The settlement in Illinois is based on the nature and extent of the injury.

There is no payment for pain and suffering for Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims. However, the settlement is based on whether surgery is involved, the specific body part injured, and what limitations result.

In Illinois you may be able to recover for negligent actions and for a Workers’ Compensation claim. It all depends on the parties involved and the circumstances surrounding the injury. Make sure to talk with an Illinois Work Comp lawyer.

Back injuries may be the number one type of injury union workers suffer on the job.

This is because most union jobs involve heavy lifting.

Treatments for back injuries range from pain medications, muscle relaxants, injections, physical therapy to surgery.

Serious back injuries may result in permanent lifting restrictions and prevent a union worker from returning to his or her job.

If you injure your back make sure to ask the doctor about an MRI. This type of test is the most sensitive for showing damage to the spine and discs.

Spinal surgery may involve disc repair, disc replacement, or fusion of different levels of the spine with hardware.

Once a back injury has occurred make sure to speak with an Illinois Workers’ Compensation lawyer because the stakes are high and the need for future medical treatment needs to be assessed.
