Being your own worst enemy
Many people are worried about being able to afford an attorney. That should never be a problem if you have an Illinois workers' compensation claim because our law firm and every other in Illinois only gets paid if we make a recovery for you at the end of the case. And with very few exceptions, that fee can never exceed 20% of what has been recovered. Yet some people still shy from leveling the playing field by getting an attorney in their corner. Why?
Recently I was contacted by an injured worker who was getting jerked around by the insurance company. They were unreasonably denying his medical care even though their doctor said surgery was needed. Absolutely no basis what-so-ever and this is a really solvable problem. We've helped on scores of cases before and explained all of this to the injured worker.
This was three months ago. He didn't hire us and I looked on the Illinois Workers' Compensation computers, he didn't hire anyone else. I made a follow up call and he's still dealing with the same nonsense and in a lot of pain. He's not hiring anyone because he doesn't want to upset the insurance adjuster who "seems really nice."
