Workers Compensation Lawyer in Chicago, Illinois Work Injury Attorney

Injuring your back or neck should never be taken lightly.  Getting the proper medical care for your best recovery is vital.  When your injury was work-related, safeguarding your right to getting workers’ compensation benefits for that injury can be an important piece of your recovery puzzle.  With the high costs of medical care, you want to be sure you receive all the benefits you are entitled to, so you can afford to have all the treatment you are entitled to.

With this in mind, it is important to have a strong medical record detailing the extent of your injury, and any evidence that it was connected to your work.  Often the strongest and most credible testimony and evidence for these injuries comes from medical doctors, as opposed to chiropractors.  That is not to say that chiropractors don’t perform a valuable healing function; but being under the care of a medical doctor that focuses on neck and back injuries can make a significant difference for you both medically and legally.

In an Illinois workers’ compensation case that was recently decided, the worker showed that merging the two practices proved to be the best of both worlds.  She received chiropractic care which helped her condition, and yet sought the opinions and treatment of several other specialists as well.

In this case, the woman performed cleaning services, and had two work injuries in one year.  Each time the pain began in her back and neck.  She was treated by a chiropractor after each incident.  The first time, the treatments allowed her to return to work as usual.  After the second injury, she continued the chiropractic care, because it relieved her symptoms, however she saw several other specialists as well.

Wisely, this worker knew, and was advised by her chiropractor, that she should get the care and opinion of medical specialists.  She was then able to get pain medication, physical therapy, injections, and an evaluation for surgery.  She had a detailed medical record, and several physicians that were able to testify about her condition and that it was related to her work.

The court upheld her workers’ compensation benefits, including the costs of her chiropractic care.  The judge supported the workers’ claim that the ongoing chiropractic treatments, while not curing her, were necessary to relieve the pain temporarily.

Neck and back injuries can be very serious, and lead to other complications.  It’s very important to get the medical care necessary to be sure you are receiving all the treatments that will lead you to your best recovery.  It is also important to help yourself to be able to get the benefits you are legally entitled to, in order to help you get that treatment

In most instances, if you want to receive workers’ compensation benefits for your injury at work, you need to follow doctors’ orders.  You can’t disregard the medical opinions and still expect your employer to pay.  But when it comes to having surgery, the choice is still yours to exercise.  In Illinois workers’ compensation cases, you don’t have to subject yourself to surgery just to receive your benefits.

A caller was facing this issue and asked what his rights were.  He had gone through one surgery already, and it did not go well, so he didn’t want to risk a second surgery.  The insurance company was giving him pressure to have the surgery.  For the insurer, it seems like a bottom-line issue.  If you have the surgery, you could likely get better and get back to your job.  It could save money in future benefits. 

But for the worker facing the decision, it’s more complex.  Surgery involves risk, pain, recovery, and an invasion to your body.  You don’t want the insurance company dictating that you have to have surgery; even if it saves them money.  And fortunately, in Illinois, you can refuse the surgery, as long as your decision was reasonable and not made in bad faith.

In deciding whether your choice to refuse surgery is reasonable, it doesn’t matter if it could make your condition worse, or cost more money down the road if you don’t have the procedure.  It is reasonable to refuse surgery even if you are avoiding it out of fear:  fear of the consequences; fear of the pain; or any other legitimate fear.  Our Illinois courts have pointed out that the workers’ compensation system is there to support workers with varied beliefs and fears.  As long as the decision not to have surgery was based on a personal belief, reason, fear, or other good faith justification, you shouldn’t lose your benefits for exercising your freedom of choice.

For the caller facing this dilemma, the fact that he had experienced one bad surgery already, made it perfectly reasonable to choose not to try it again.  Even though surgeons can give their opinion that a surgery would likely produce a successful outcome, there are no guarantees.

As long as there isn’t any indication you are making your surgery choice out of bad faith, but instead it is based on reasonable personal choice, your decision should be supported by the workers’ compensation system.  If you have questions about this, just give us a call at (312) 346-5578.

There is a workers' compensation law firm in Chicago (actually a few and a couple down state) that has a terrible reputation for customer service.  They don't return phone calls, they forget what the case is about, they are rude and worst of all, they have a high turnover as lawyers come and go.

We thought of this firm because another one of their associates just left, surely to be replaced by a younger attorney who doesn't have the experience their clients needs.  More than one of their former clients has told us that in less than a year, five different lawyers handled their case!!!

It's really disgusting and the sad part is that with minimal effort this firm could dominate the market if they just treated people the right way.  But they dump on their clients which makes the clients leave and they treat the lawyers like garbage which makes the lawyers leave. 

Before you hire an attorney, whether it's one we recommend or one you find on your own, make sure to ask who will be handling the case and how long all of the different lawyers have been at the firm.  If there are bunch that have been there for less than two years then it's a red flag.  If they aren't treating the staff right, then they probably won't treat you right.

When a lawyer does leave a firm, it can really cause lots of problems as someone needs to be responsible for files that they weren't handling before.  It puts you at a disadvantage as we often see that these cases are given lower priority.

Of course there is no way to predict if your lawyer is going to leave their firm, but you should still snoop around.

If the answer to this question is “yes,” then your employer is responsible for your workers’ compensation benefits if you’re injured at work.  But if you are an independent contractor, then you’re on your own.

So it’s not so surprising that many times employers will try to incorrectly label their workers as independent contractors to avoid workers’ compensation responsibility.  But your employer can call you whatever he wants to, and that won’t make it so.  If you’re really an employee in practice, a different label put on your employment status won’t change that. 

What makes you an employee so that your employer’s insurance will cover your workers’ compensation claims?  Look at the facts of your employment—how you do what you do and how it relates to the company, not what you’re called. 

The most important fact in Illinois cases, is whether your employer controls your workday and how you get your work done.  Are you told when and where to work, and what process you have to use to accomplish your work duties?  Other facts are looked at also.  Do you use your employer’s equipment and materials?  How are you paid?  Are taxes withheld from your paycheck?

On the other hand, if you’re an independent contractor, the end result that is accomplished is more significant to your employer than how or when you got it done.  You control your own schedule and you control how you’re getting your work done.  Your employer is interested in the results of your work and not necessarily the process.  Also, you likely will be paid hourly for your work.

Since the reality of which kind of worker you are is so fact specific, employers may try to slap a label on you and skew the facts to fit the label.  The same job can often be done as an independent contractor and as an employee, so the facts of your specific situation have to be looked at.

For example, if your job is making deliveries for a company in Orland Park (as a recent caller does), you could be an employee if the company tells you what hours to work; schedules your route for you, provides the vehicle; and pays you a salary.  But if you are given a list of who to deliver to each day, and you can control how you get those deliveries done, and you’re using your own car and being paid by the hour or by the delivery, you could be an independent contractor.

Regardless of what your employer calls you, if you are functioning as an employee then your status doesn’t change, and your right to your employers’ workers’ compensation insurance doesn’t change either.  And don’t take their word for it if they tell you that you are not an employee.  Speak with a qualified Illinois workers’ compensation attorney.  It’s free and will give you peace of mind.

A reader asked us this question recently, wanting to know what happens to his workers’ compensation benefits if he quits his job.  That’s a great question, and even better that he asked the question first, before quitting the job.  Timing is everything in life, so it’s great to first consider the consequences of the timing of leaving your job while your workers’ compensation case is still ongoing.

The bottom line is that if you leave, some things may change and some remain the same.  It depends on the type of benefit you’re receiving, and what kind of claim you have.

Medical benefits are not affected by your employment status.  Those payments are reimbursement for the medical care that you needed in order to recover from your injury.  So whether you’re working or not, or for whom you’re working, it won’t affect your right to medical coverage. 

Similarly, if your injury is permanent and keeps you from working at all, then even if you quit your job you are entitled to the benefits for that loss.  Also, if your injury is permanent and you are entitled to permanent partial disability benefits (PPD), you will still receive those benefits at the end of your case, once it is determined the amount you have been reduced in your ability to work.

Some other benefits, though can be affected by your leaving your job.  While you are recovering from your injury, if you are not able to perform your original job, and have been given medical restrictions, you could receive temporary total disability benefits (TTD).  These benefits include compensation for lost wages because you are not able to work up to your full capacity. 

But if you leave your job during this period that you could receive TTD, you could lose or hinder those benefits.  If your employer is able to find work for you that accommodates your medical restrictions, but you are not working there anymore, there’s a good argument for the employer not being responsible for those payments.

Also, in general, when if you’re looking at a settlement for your case, you can affect the value of what you could get for your claim by not working.  In the case of a larger injury, the amount lost could be substantial.

Though you won’t completely lose your right to workers’ compensation benefits if you leave your job, it is best to hang in there if you can, until we can fully evaluate the details of your case.

We were contacted recently by a worker who was going through a difficult situation that was made even worse.  He was injured on the job and couldn’t work, and was getting advice from his lawyer that didn’t make sense.  While he should have been receiving regular disability benefits for his lost wages, he wasn’t.  And his lawyer was telling him to wait for a lump sum payment.  Meanwhile, the man was running out of money.

Turns out, the lawyer was not someone who generally handled Illinois workers’ compensation cases, which likely accounts for the odd information the worker was getting.  If the lawyer had been more experienced in the workings of the system, he would have known that this worker was entitled to receive temporary total disability benefits (TTD) for his time off work, and he did not have to wait to get the payments started.

TTD in Illinois workers’ compensation allows for workers injured on the job to get a regular benefit check to compensate for the lost wages from the injury.  So if you’re unable to work, or you have to work with restrictions that can’t be accommodated because of your injury, you are entitled to receive TTD benefits.  The amount of your check will generally be based on 2/3 of the amount of your average weekly wage if you’re unable to work. 

Since these benefits are meant to compensate you during this period that you can’t earn what you could previously, then it would not make sense for you to have to wait for the payments to start.  If you’re not getting the benefits you’re entitled to, then your lawyer can request a hearing to get the compensation started. 

Even lawyers that are very skilled in certain areas may not be experienced enough in handling workers’ compensation cases in Illinois, to fully protect your rights.  Your financial loss during a tough time after an injury is too important and timely to have a lawyer who is learning as he or she goes along, about the practice of workplace injuries.

We get a surprising number of calls from people who are told by their employer or the union that they have to hire a certain attorney. Or they are told that being in a union somehow alters how a workers’ compensation case is handled. Neither of these is true.

Being in a union does not change how this works. You file a claim, you are entitled to benefits. And you get to pick your own attorney. This is important because you want to hire someone whom you know is 100% on your side. The union officials might have relationships with certain attorneys, and maybe they get something out of referring cases. If they are insisting on making this choice for you, we see it as a red flag. That said, there’s nothing wrong with asking them to suggest an attorney or firm. It’s when they try to force you that you should be concerned.

This can be confusing, because union agreements do affect employment law, such as your hours or how disputes are resolved. But it’s not the case when it comes to a work injury.

When looking for a workers’ compensation attorney, focus on experience and familiarity with the arbitrators at the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission. An attorney who knows these key people, and who has been practicing in this area of law for many years (and who handles mostly work injuries rather than a wide range of cases), is your best bet, in our opinion. There are no guarantees, but it certainly can’t hurt.

Should you sign it? You don’t want to sign away important rights, but on the other hand you want to make your boss happy and keep your job.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter. You can sign, or not. Either way, you still have the right to pursue workers’ compensation benefits. It’s a right that you can’t sign away. So, if signing the form helps you keep your job, you can sign it. It’s meaningless in the end.  

There are situations where you wouldn’t be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits in the first place. If you are an independent contractor, for example, you aren’t eligible. So, signing a waiver in this situation wouldn’t mean much either.

While we’re on the subject of independent contractors, we should mention that many employers and workers misunderstand what this means (or a boss understands but is looking to get away with something). If the person you work for has control over your performance and job duties, you may be considered an employee. Think about who makes your schedule, gives you tools or equipment, tells you what tasks to perform and when, and dictating how the work gets done. The more control, the more likely that you are an employee and not an independent contractor.

The obvious result is that you won’t get workers’ compensation benefits, but in addition, you might be hurting your future and your health.

We hear from people who don’t want to file a claim because they don’t want to cause problems, because they feel pressure from their employer to not file a claim, because they’re embarrassed to make a big deal out of their injury or because they don’t want to get lawyers involved.

We understand all these concerns, but they aren’t as important as your physical health, and your financial well being. Keep these things in mind:

-       Filing a claim for workers’ comp is not a lawsuit against your employer; it’s a claim against their insurance policy. You are not suing anyone.

-       If you use your regular health insurance instead, and they find out, they can sue you for the amount they paid (because it was a work injury and therefore not their responsibility)

-       If you use your regular insurance, there may be limits on your treatment. In workers’ compensation, you are entitled to all the medical care that is reasonable and necessary and related to your injury, even if it takes years and requires multiple surgeries.

-       If you change your mind later, it might be too late. You are supposed to notify your employer of a work injury within 45 days or your claim could be denied.

Talking to an attorney is confidential. If you are having doubts, we encourage you to do this. Unlike any advice you get from your employer, or their insurance company, a lawyer will be looking at it with your best interests in mind.

1. Occupational diseases are illnesses or conditions caused by exposure to something harmful on the job. In order to be eligible for benefits, an employee’s exposure has to be related to the job. Examples include dust, fumes, chemicals, radiation, etc. These cases fall under the Occupational Disease Act, rather than the Workers’ Compensation Act, although they are very similar.
2. Practically speaking, the main difference between occupational diseases and typical work injuries is the timeline. Exposure to chemicals can cause health problems years, even decades, after exposure, whereas a slip and fall at work is pretty straightforward. In occupational illness cases, extra effort is required to gather evidence, as exposure can be difficult to quantify.
3. In these cases, investigators can be used to gather evidence. OSHA investigates dangerous work conditions and can be a good way to get the evidence you need. Other times, an employer will cooperate, or an attorney will hire a private investigator to do some of the work. Whatever the method, the goal is to link your condition to your job.
4. If your doctor links your disease to your work, you are eligible for benefits, which include 100% of your medical bills, 2/3 of your average weekly wages if you are out of work because of your condition, as well as possible compensation if your injury is permanent. Even when a job is not the only cause of an illness, benefits should be available. The job just needs to be a contributing factor to the worker’s condition.
5. There are deadlines for filing claims for workers’ compensation. As soon as you suspect you have an occupational illness, get medical attention, and then talk to an attorney about how long you have to file a claim. Missing the deadline can end your case.

If your work injury leaves you with a scar, or multiple scars, you can be compensated for the fact that your injury has affected you this way. It depends on the severity, the permanency and where the scar located is on your body.

Generally, compensation is available for serious and permanent scars that appear on the hand, head, face, neck, arm and leg (below the knee) or chest (above the breast line). Basically, if your scar is visible when you are wearing knee-length shorts and a v-neck t-shirt, you should qualify for compensation.

The compensation for scarring and disfigurement is usually in the form of a settlement, which is a lump sum that is negotiated between the injured worker and their employer’s insurance company. Negotiations generally take place at least six months after the date of the employee’s injury so that it can be determined whether the scarring is in fact considered “permanent” under the law.

It’s difficult to state any hard and fast rules on how much a scar is worth, since each is different. How much this type of injury is worth can be very subjective. The type of scar, as well as its location, can make a difference. For example, a raised scar may be worth more than one that is not raised. Permanent scarring on the face is generally considered the most serious and results in the most compensation.

In some situations, an injured worker may be able to get compensation for scarring, as well as compensation in the form of other benefits. Other times, only one or the other is available. It can be helpful to have an attorney with experience in scarring and disfigurement cases in order to fully understand your options. The bottom line is that you can, and should, get workers’ compensation for serious, permanent and visible scars caused by a work injury.

Plantar fasciitis is a type of heel injury. The cushion can get injured or wear down. A common question from workers who develop this condition is: How do I know if my heel pain was caused by my job?

If your heel injury was caused by a single accident or fall, and it happened while you were working, then it’s likely covered. The trickier case is when your heel pain is caused by excessive use. If your job requires you to walk an excessive amount, or if you have to walk on uneven surfaces or wear specific shoes that caused the problem, then you are likely eligible for benefits.

On the other hand, simply standing to do your job is not enough, even if it did cause pain in your heel or foot. In order to get workers’ compensation benefits, you need to show that your job put you at a greater risk for the injury.

Plantar fasciitis also can be caused by age, obesity and diabetes. In these situations, your injury would still be covered if your job aggravated or accelerated the condition. If not, then it’s probably not considered work related.

Each case is different, but foot problems can last years, if not forever. Surgery is sometimes required. It’s possible that you may not be able to do your old job anymore. It’s especially important to file a claim and pursue benefits in these cases. Illinois law protects you and says that you are entitled to medical coverage, as well as compensation if you have to miss work (or can’t return to work) due to your injury.

Finally, consider hiring an attorney. You will get plenty of advice from your employer and their insurance company, but ultimately, they are going to be more worried about their bottom line than about your health.

Because this type of injury develops over time, it’s not always clear when it starts or when it gets to the point where you should do something about it. Here are some quick tips:

-       Make an appointment with your doctor. It can’t hurt, and it’s the best first step to take. A common example of a repetitive trauma injury is carpal tunnel from typing. If your wrists start hurting consistently, it’s probably time to look into it.

-       Be completely honest, and clear, with your doctor. Explain what hurts, how it hurts, when you first noticed it, etc. Also explain your job duties and daily activities. Your doctor needs all this information in order to link a possible injury to your work. And without this link, you aren’t going to get worker’s compensation benefits.

-       You must tell your employer. You’re required to notify them within 45 days of the injury. Don’t wait until the last minute, and make sure to put it in writing. If you don’t notify your employer, or don’t do it by the deadline, your claim can be denied. In repetitive trauma cases, the deadline isn’t always clear because the date of injury isn’t clear. A good rule of thumb is to notify your employer as soon as you realize that your injury is related to your job.

-       If your doctor gives you specific instructions on what you can and can’t do at work – called work restrictions – follow them closely. You can hurt your case if you go against your doctor’s recommendations. You can even lose your claim altogether.

If your work injury leads to a secondary injury – infection after surgery, for example – it should be covered by workers’ compensation. If you hadn’t received the initial injury, you wouldn’t have the related injuries, so Illinois law allows the worker to receive benefits for both.

The range of secondary injuries is broad: bad reactions to medication, injury to another body party during physical therapy, hurting your arm from having to use crutches, contracting an infection or other illness during a hospital stay, surgical errors, etc.

Initially, you shouldn’t be surprised if the insurance company denies responsibility for your secondary injury or condition. It’s going to cost them more money, so it’s in their best interest to say it’s not covered. Don’t take their word for it. The law in Illinois says that anything arising from your work injury also should be covered. In our experience, this ends up happening, but sometimes you have to fight for it.

If your employer suggests using your group health insurance for a secondary injury, or the insurance adjuster suggests using Medicare, check with a workers’ comp attorney before following their advice.

Working around warehouses or storerooms where boxes are stacked, you know there’s always that chance that something will fall.  If a heavy box lands on your foot, you may develop a Lisfranc joint injury.  That’s the bony area on the top of your foot.  When you injure the Lisfranc, you can have a sprain, fracture, or dislocation. 

In addition to dropping something on the top of your foot, you can also have a Lisfranc injury from a car accident, or a running or twisting incident.  The result can be very painful, causing your foot to swell or bruise.  In more serious cases, you can have difficulty bearing weight on your foot.

If you suspect you may have a Lisfranc injury, you’ll want to get to an orthopedic specialist for a proper diagnosis.  This can be critical for two reasons.  First, it’s an injury that is often hard to diagnose.  It may not be apparent from a typical x-ray, and a further scan may be ordered.  Second, these injuries can lead to further complications like arthritis.  Treating it early and properly can be a big help to your overall recovery.

For a more minor injury, rest and pain medications may be enough.  You may need to wear a cast and avoid putting weight on your foot.  Exercises could be used later to help rebuild strength and motion in your foot.  Sometimes, in more severe cases, surgery is needed.  Following your doctor’s treatment recommendations can help to avoid a prolonged recovery time or developing arthritis.

During this healing time, you should be entitled to Illinois workers’ compensation benefits to reimburse your medical expenses, and to recover lost wages.  We recommend lawyers with Lisfranc experience who understands the complicated medical issues involved.  Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to find out what you may be able to recover for your injury.

If you work at a job that involves frequent bending of you wrist or grasping with your hands, you may be at risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).  This is an injury to the nerve that goes from your forearm to your hand. 

CTS causes pain, numbness, or discomfort in your wrist, and can even travel up your arm to your shoulder.  You may experience loss of control of your hand, and have trouble handling objects. 

More than eight million people are affected by CTS across the country.  And since it’s most frequently caused by the stress of repetitive movements on the job, workers are turning to the workers’ compensation system in large numbers to recover what they’ve lost because of the injury.  In addition to repetitive motions, CTS symptoms can also be triggered by a single trauma to the hand or neck.  

If you experience pain or numbness in your hand, arm, or shoulders; or if you’re having difficulty grasping objects, you should see a doctor that’s very knowledgeable about CTS.  Sometimes even the tests that are run to diagnose CTS can be wrong, and miss a case.  So it’s important that your doctor is experienced in seeing the signs and is able to properly diagnose and treat your CTS.

Treatment is focused on reducing the swelling and relieving the nerve pressure.  Catching the condition in its earliest stages can be very helpful in treating it more easily and quickly, and without surgery.  If it has not gotten too severe, your doctor may prescribe a splint, and/or anti-inflammatory medications to help reduce swelling and relieve pressure.  More severe cases can require cortisone injections or surgery.  The surgery is fairly common and not too invasive.

Regardless of the treatment plan, if your CTS is related to your work activity, workers’ compensation benefits should reimburse you for your medical costs, including co-payments and out of pocket expenses.  You should also be able to recover lost wages for the missed work time your treatment requires. 

Hiring a lawyer who is highly experienced in workers’ compensation law and in particular hand and wrist injuries, will help you be sure that you are getting the maximum benefits that are allowed under Illinois law for your injury.  If you would like to find out more about what may be due for your injury, or have any questions, please contact us.  Our lawyers are highly experienced in this area and would be happy to help you.
