What is my case worth? Illinois PPD
The following was submitted recently:
I recently was injured at work and ruptured my left distal bicep tendon. It was surgically repaired 4 days later. I don't know if I can return to my old job and do not know how much function or strength I will regain. Am I entitled to a settlement and if so, any idea of possibly how much?
We give more free advice than any attorney we have come across, but other than saying yes that this person is entitled to a settlement although depending on the ultimate recovery it might make more sense to not settle and keep his medical rights open. Either way, we can't tell what the case is worth until he is as good as he is going to get medically speaking and we see what type of work he can do.
Bottom line is that it's worth something, probably a lot, but as an injured worker we suggest that you first focus on your health. We have never seen a situation where someone received more without a lawyer than they would have with one. If you want our help with evaluating your case let us know.
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.
