Three quick Illinois TTD questions
We have received a lot of questions lately about Illinois temporary total disability benefits. Here are three where we felt the answers will help everyone.
I haven't been paid TTD benefits for three months, but I never hired a lawyer. Is it too late to get an attorney to go after what I'm owed?
No. As long as it's not too late to file the case itself, an attorney can go back and get any benefits that are available for you.
I work a part time job (ten hours a week) along with my full time job. Just broke my leg and can't do either job. Do I get paid for the lost part time hours along with my pay from the injury for the full time job?
Yes, if your employer for the job on which you got hurt knew about the part time job.
Do I have to pay a lawyer 20% of my TTD benefits if I hire them?
No law firm that we would recommend for a case would take a penny of your TTD benefits unless we had to do substantial work to secure them like go to trial. In 99% of cases we don't take anything for TTD. Some firms don't follow the same rules so watch out for them.
