Common Myths Associated with Worker Compensation Laws

Chicago workers compensation laws are put in place to provide financial benefits to employees injured on the job. While these laws do have their limitations, there are several misconceptions that might prevent an injured worker from pursuing a Chicago workers compensation settlement:

  • I can’t afford a Chicago workers comp attorney:  Most initial consultations are free and payment for service is usually contingent on successful litigation.
  • The insurance company will provide just compensation:  Insurance companies are out to pay as little as possible for your hardship. Fair compensation often comes only with the threat of legal action.
  • You must report your injury immediately or you lose eligibility:  An arbitrary time limit imposed by an employer does not override that specified by workers comp law.
A skilled attorney is your best chance to receive just compensation

Retaining the services of a qualified attorney from the law office of Howard and Nemoy is your best chance at receiving the compensation you deserve. Contact an experienced Chicago worker comp lawyer who is intimately familiar with Chicago workers compensation law.
