Why Does It Have to be so Complicated When I am Hurt?

The law in Illinois is complex when it deals with work injuries, personal injuries and Social Security Disability.

You just do not have the time, knowledge, and ability to juggle everything when you are seriously hurt.

Pain is overwhelming and invades every part of our lives.

You need someone who will help guide you through the process so that you can come out on top.

It does not cost you anything up front to get experienced help.

Lawyers who represent you in work injury, car crashes, falls and Social Security Disability cases charge you only if they win money for you.

The peace of mind and guidance is worth it.

Make sure that you partner with an experienced lawyer so they can help you through the process as painlessly as possible.

Take Another Look at Your Injury Case

Sometimes it helps to take a different view of things to understand what is really happening.

For instance, in your injury or disability case imagine what the Judge is reviewing in making her decision.

Pretend that you are the Judge and you have just heard the injured person testify that they have pain most of the day and it makes it hard to concentrate and perform daily activities.

Now imagine that you are the Judge and you are reviewing the injured person’s medical records.

The medical records report the patient is feeling fine. The records do not show any xrays or MRI’s. The records show appointments every 6 months.

You would expect the Judge to be somewhat confused with the difference between the testimony and the records.

What if the records showed doctor visits every 2 months, with an xray of the knee showing arthritis, and an emergency room visit for extreme pain thrown in, and doctor’s notes describing ongoing pain with activity.

The Judge would be able to find the injured person’s testimony more believable based on these set of records.

The point is that you want to tell your doctor everything that is happening, and you want to seek the treatment that is necessary to diagnose your condition and address the pain.

It is very unlikely to win a case based on testimony alone.

You will need to have supporting medical records explaining your pain and the extent of the pain.
