Warning

Signs You Need a Lawyer — NOW!

If any of these sound familiar, your employer or their insurance company may be working against you. Don't wait until it's too late.

Boss said to wait
Immediate Risk

Your boss told you "wait to see how it feels" before filing.

Delaying your claim can hurt your case. In Illinois, you have strict deadlines to report injuries. Don't let them run out the clock.

Insurance company examiner
Claim Conflict

The company's examiner says you're fine, but you're in pain.

Their examiner answers to the insurance company, not you. They are often pressured to clear workers early to save money on claims. You deserve an independent review.

Insurance case manager
Rights Violation

The insurer's "case manager" is sitting in on your private meetings.

They aren't there to help you—they're monitoring what you say to report back to the insurance company and shrink your claim. You have the legal right to privacy.

Out-of-pocket costs
Financial Risk

You're paying out of your own pocket instead of Workers' Comp.

Work injury costs should be 100% covered by your employer's insurance. If the bills, deductibles, and co-pays are coming out of your pocket, you're owed that money back.
