Talking to an Illinois workers' compensation lawyer
One of the most common mistakes people make is to over-analyze their situation. We do it too because when it's your life you tend to think about everything. An example would be a client we have who wants to bring down the insurance company for how they have ruined his life by denying his claim. We agree with him that the insurance company is wrong, but the proper way to right that wrong is to get him before an Arbitrator that can hear his case. No insurance company is going to be put out of business for denying a claim. If they could be there would be no insurance companies left.
Another common example relates to the nervousness that a potential client might have when calling our office. For many that call is the first time that they have ever talked to an attorney. Don't worry lawyers (at least us and everyone we work with) are just like everyone else you know in life.
Sometimes that nervousness makes a caller over-analyze their situation and withhold information. "I'm just worried that if I tell you who my employer is that you will call them and I will be out of a job," is something we hear a lot.
FYI, aside from the fact that our conversations are confidential, we would lose our license to practice law if we ever did something intentionally to harm your case. Never mind the fact that it would be wrong to do so and as believers in karma we would never sell out a client or potential client. By worrying about what might happen if you answer our questions you are over-analyzing your problem and making it hard for us to evaluate your case.
The more open and honest you are with us the better of a chance that we have to help you. If we know your employer we can also tell you what we know about that company and the insurance company that represents them. If we know the facts of your case it allows us to analyze your situation better.
We can never guarantee a client a result in a case. We do guarantee that if you call us that everything we talk about will be between just us.
