Don't screw yourself by lying

Probably 20 times a year we get a call from someone who was injured on the job and was asked by their boss to tell the doctor it happened some other way.  Usually the boss either threatens a job if you don't or says that they'll take care of everything if you just play ball.

Let us be clear.  LYING IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN EVER DO ON A WORK INJURY CASE.  As soon as you tell a lie it has to be un-done.  We have never seen a situation where a scumbag employer made promises to take care of a worker if they don't file a case and actually protected that worker.  If your boss is asking you to lie make no mistake; that person isn't looking out for you.

We are workers' compensation attorneys that help people with Illinois work injuries anywhere in IL via our statewide network of attorneys.  Contact us and we will answer your questions or find the right lawyer for your situation.
