bloomington Illinois Workers Compensation Attorney

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law provides you with a number of benefits that Work Comp insurance companies do not want you to know.

When you are off work you should receive payment until your doctor returns you to work.

When you need medical treatment as a result of your injury you should have your medical bills paid.

When your doctor releases you to return to work you should be paid a settlement.

If you do not receive any of these benefits make sure to call an Illinois Work Comp Attorney.

It does not cost you to have a lawyer. The Illinois Work Comp Attorney is not paid until you recover money.

Questions about your work injury case? Feel free to contact Illinois Work Comp Attorney Dirk May at 309-827-4371.

Do not let the Workers’ Compensation insurance company tell you where to file for your work injury benefits.

Why does it matter?

Illinois law provides some of the highest protections and settlements in the Country.

Some companies will tell you that you must file in the State where you live or in the state where your employer is located.

Not true. Illinois law allows you to file your work injury claim in Illinois if you are injured here or if you contracted or were hired out of Illinois. Doesn’t matter what state you were injured in.

It can get complicated. So make sure to speak with an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney to make sure that you get the Illinois benefits you deserve.

In some cases you can file in Illinois even if you settled your case in another state!

It is from Hawaii. But what better place to lift our spirits in the middle of the Illinois winter.

No Illinois Workers’ Compensation hearings, as a practical matter, have been allowed since November 2020 and there is no reopening in sight.

The official stance is that it is too dangerous to hold hearings due to Covid.

There is also no mechanism for video hearings to take the place of in person hearings.

This makes it difficult for everyone to pursue their case and have an Arbitrator rule on entitlement to medical treatment, off work pay, and payment for your injury.

However, if you are injured at work you may still file a work injury case.

You are allowed to settle your case also and be paid money for your injury.

If you cannot get your case settled or are having problems with the insurance company contact a lawyer right away.

It does not cost anything to hire an Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney. The lawyer is only paid at the end of the case when you recover your money.
