A simple question with an easy answer
A reader asks:
I signed a contract with an attorney almost a month ago and there is still no claim number. How long does that take?
It should be the same day or the next day, as soon as the attorney can get to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
This all sounds fishy as if the person the worker hired doesn't focus on job injuries. It's free to file a case and takes all of two minutes once you get to the Commission. So while I didn't talk to this worker, I'll bet a nickel that they hired someone who doesn't know what they are doing. And they will suffer for it.
