Navigating the Workers' Compensation System
Injured workers in Indiana and Illinois face many obstacles in the workers' compensation system, ranging from medical treatment and light-duty return to work assignments, to undervalued offers for permanent partial impairment and disability claims, to claims for permanent and total disability. Hiring a lawyer to represent you can level the playing field and help you receive all of the benefits you are entitled to under the law.
At the law firm of Cutler & Silverglade, we believe that injured workers deserve justice. We have dedicated our law practice to representing working men and women in Indiana and Illinois who have sustained on-the-job injuries.
For every obstacle that arises in a workers' compensation case, we can help you navigate a way around it. For example, we can:
- Help you deal with your company doctor if you don't agree with your diagnosis or treatment plan
- Obtain a free independent medical exam (in Indiana) or help you obtain a second opinion (in Illinois) for treatment purposes
- Help you secure all of your weekly disability benefits
- Help you deal with your insurance adjuster
- Investigate whether denials of claims have been made in bad faith
- Make sure your employer is honoring your light-duty restrictions
- Obtain a ruling on requested further medical treatment from a hearing judge
- Consult with you to determine your specific needs in order to best obtain a timely, efficient and favorable resolution to your case
- Refer you for a second opinion on your permanent impairment or total disability claim
Workers' compensation insurance companies have legal counsel and plenty of resources to try to limit or deny you the benefits you deserve. When your health and your future is at stake, hiring a lawyer to represent your interests just makes sense.
