We are representing someone who hurt their neck and called us for a Glenview workers’ compensation attorney. She was very panicked at the initial call because she felt her case was unique.
Every case is unique in that no two cases are exactly alike, but it’s only once in a blue moon that we hear facts that are so unique that it makes the case difficult to handle.
I won’t get in to too many details about our client, but the general gist is that she’s worked at the same place for a long time and her boss was pressuring her to lie to the doctor and state that her injury was not work related. She was smart enough not to do that, but did pay for some medical treatment out of her own pocket. That’s not a huge issue as I’m confident we’ll get her reimbursed for those expenses.
The point is that if you are an attorney who handles only (or almost only) work injury cases, there rarely is a situation you haven’t seen before. And we created our network of like minded attorneys throughout the state to make sure that no matter who contacts us, we aren’t reinventing the wheel so to speak. If we recommend a lawyer for you, we believe in that person and their abilities. When the rare occasion occurs that a situation stumps us, having a large group of lawyers to discuss the facts with allows us to provide better representation.
So please relax and don’t panic. You may have a hard case or some hurdles to overcome, but the odds are that you are not dealing with a situation that hasn’t been dealt with before successfully. And if you are that one unusual person with unique facts, it’s all the better because those are exciting cases for a lawyer.
