Don't let the insurance company tell you that you have no case.
A new client stepped down from a ladder and felt a pop in his knee. He tore his meniscus and is scheduled for surgery. He called just to make sure that the insurance adjuster who told him that his case was no compensable was telling the truth.
News flash. The adjuster is not looking out for you. Sometimes they are nice, sometimes mean, sometimes they ignore you, sometimes they act like a friend. In every scenario they make money by saving their employer money. They are trying to reduce the costs involved in your case. They are not there to look out for you.
Having an attorney levels the playing field. An insurance company isn't going to tell you that you have a case if they think you will believe that you don't. For our new client there is crystal clear case law that shows he was at an increased risk to the general public when he got hurt. In plain English that means his case is covered under Illinois work injury law and he wins.
We don't pick battles with insurance companies - we fight when we have to, but find that keeping things amicable helps our clients. That said, we also don't listen to non-sense like them telling us what is going to happen if we go to court. We know the law and if it's on the side of our clients we make sure that the law is enforced.
We are workers' compensation attorneys that help people with Illinois work injuries anywhere in IL via our statewide network of attorneys. Contact us and we will answer your questions or find the right lawyer for your situation.
