Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois
Left Distal Bicep Repair Settlement
I recently was injured at work and ruptured my left distal bicep tendon. It was surgically repaired 4 days later. I am currently on workers comp. I am a concrete laborer and do not know how much function or strengthI will regain. Am I entitled to a settlement and if so, any idea of possibly how much?

In a nutshell, the answer is most likely you are entitled to a settlement. Not even the best lawyers could evaluate your case without the evidence. Given your profession, you, without question, should have a workers' compensation lawyer on your side. We'd be glad to discuss your case with you.

There is no honest way to tell you what it's worth without reviewing your medical records, seeing what recovery you make and knowing your wage. It's definitely worth a decent amount and you certainly will get more with an attorney. If you would like a recommendation let us know.

Re: Left Distal Bicep Repair Settlement
Honestly, you need an attorney face-to-face meeting to answer this question accurately.
Otherwise, it is just speculation and generalized information.
An attorney will cost you 20% of the total settlement, but it may well save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
(You can check my website for just one such example.)
Best of luck to you!
