Legal Question in Workers Comp in Idaho

Re: Why will no attorney consider taking my case?

I am an attorney in Illinois. But the answer to your question may lie in the laws of the laws of your state. In most states, one must prove a premanent injury in order to collect compensation, the part we call permanent partial disability. This is the area from which attorneys generally collect their fees. If you are not likely to be left with some permanent injury then lawyers would not be interested. They do expect to get paid for their efforts and are entitled to be compensated too. However, you have what we call and occupational disease. Your state may not allow as much for such injuries as Illinois does. Also, there is a conservative trend in the law against individuals. You should be conscious of this when you vote for your state representatives and your governor. The laws being enacted in many states are NOT employee friendly. Many times this situation only becomes apparent to the voter when he is in need of his benefits. Therefore, you should determine the positions of your candidates before you decide who to vote for. The entire country needs more employee freindly representatives. Good Luck.
