Re: Medical Dr

You certainly need an attorney. You can refuse to go, but if you do then they can cut off all of your benefits. This is from Section 12 of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. If you would like our help please call us at 800-

517-

1614. All cases are handled on a contingency basis (we don't get paid unless we make a recovery for you).
