Bloomington Illinois Work Injury Attorney

Here is a Good Work Comp Idea

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

I have seen too many cases where the injured worker does not tell the doctor that the injury happened on the job, and waits to go to the doctor.

Make it easy on yourself.

Tell work immediately when you are hurt on the job.

Go to the doctor as soon as you can, and tell them how you were injured at work.

Make sure you tell the doctor about all your injuries.

File an accident report.

Failure to do these things leaves you open to the charge that you were not hurt at work or are faking it.

The longer you wait to report or go to the doctor, the more the value of your case drops.

Illinois law pays Workers’ Compensation benefits for workers who die on the job. There are some unusual parts of the law that deny benefits when there are no spouses or dependents. So make sure to check with an experienced Illinois Work Injury lawyer.

Where to Get Work Injury Help

More insurance companies are refusing to pay a settlement to injury workers.

They understand that many people will walk away without trying to get the money they deserve for their work injury.

If you are injured on the job, then you are entitled to a work comp settlement in Illinois.

Insurance companies have a large number of attorneys working for them and protecting their interests.

Most people do not know about the laws protecting them in Illinois and they think it costs up front money to hire a lawyer.

This is not true.

Experienced Illinois work comp lawyers will not charge a fee until they recover a settlement for you, and the fee is limited by law.

Understand the Value of Your Work Comp Settlement

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

There are two ways to make a mistake in settling your Workers’ Compensation case.

If you take an offer that is unfair, then you will end up with less than full value of your case.

Obviously this results in more money in the insurance company pockets and less money in your pockets.

You must also make sure that your medical bills are paid. If you do not do this, then you will end up paying for the bills yourself.

The other extreme is holding out for some unreasonable expectation of  a large settlement.

This is damaging also because it prolongs the process and you are upset in the end.

I have seen people who have rejected a reasonable settlement and gone to court only to be denied any award or awarded something much less than offered.

To protect against these two mistakes be sure to discuss your work injury case with an experienced Illinois Work Injury lawyer.

Some people are afraid they cannot afford a lawyer.

Fortunately in Illinois a work comp lawyer may only charge a 20 percent fee at the time your settlement is paid.
