Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois

Re: work cmp

You will most likely receive more money WITH an attorney than without, even after paying attorney's fees.

(In an atypical result, I just settled a shoulder injury case for $225,000 where the offer without an attorney was less than seventeen thousand dollars. Typically the offer is at least 30% below the fair value of the injury, in my opinion.)

If you hired my office, for example, we would charge you 20% of the total recovery for your "permanent injury".

You generally do not have to pay for the recovery of your weekly temporary total disability benefits nor for the recovery of non-disputed medical bills.

Burns with regard to "permanency" can be difficult to assess. Did you have grafts, 3rd degree burns and/or disfigurement?

Let me know and I'll provide you some guidance.

Dear Sirs:

You have a right to recover damages for the scar, as well as any future medical expenses which will be needed to revise the scar.

If there is a limitation in motion or use of the hand, this too is recoverable.

A lawyer can properly and fully protect your rights under the Illinois Workmen's Compensation Act.

Plesae call should you wish to discuss your case. Our firm has twenty-six (26) years of legal experience and has successfully handled many such cases in the past.

With best wishes, I remain

Very truly yours,
