Haven’t Been Paid Illinois Work Comp?

You should contact us right away if you have not been paid your Illinois Workers’ Compensation benefits as a result of your work injury.

Many insurance companies neglect to pay injured workers their benefits after medical treatment is completed.

Do not let this happen to you.

No attorney fees are charged to you unless a recovery is made.

Illinois law provides payment for medical treatment, off work pay, and a settlement for the work accident itself.

This can represent a significant amount of money. That is why insurance companies do not want you to know about it.

Another Reason Minimum Wage Laws make a difference in Your Work Comp Case

When Illinois raises the minimum wage every year then it can raise your work comp settlement.

Why? The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act provides that your settlement is based on 60 percent of your average weekly wage the year before you were injured.

This means jobs that used to pay $8.25 an hour now pay $11.00.

$440.00 a week is different from $330.00 a week.

This can boost your settlement when you are done treating for your injury.

Where is My Work Comp Money?

Many Workers’ Compensation insurance companies count on injured workers not knowing their rights and what the law promises.

In Illinois, Work Comp benefits are off work pay, paid medical benefits, and a settlement at the end of the case.

If you are not receiving your off work pay or medical bills are not being paid call an Illinois Work Comp lawyer right away.

It does not cost anything to contact an Illinois Work Comp Attorney. A lawyer is only paid when recovery is made for you.

At the end of the case you are entitled to payment for the value of the injury.

Do not forget this important benefit. Many insurance companies will “forget” to pay your settlement.

Work Comp is Denying My Surgery

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Law protects the person who has a work related injury.

It provides that the injured worker’s related medical treatment is to be paid.

It pays the injured worker when they are off work.

It pays a settlement to the injured worker when all the medical treatment is completed.

Workers’ Compensation insurance companies do not want to pay your bills, your off work pay, or your settlement.

They will delay and deny medical treatment.

They will send you to see their medical doctors to keep you from getting a surgery.

If you are not getting your surgery, your off work pay, or your settlement, then call us immediately.

It does not cost any upfront money to see a Work Comp Attorney. Lawyers are only paid when they win money for you.
