Understanding Your Workers' Compensation Benefits
If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you may suffer permanent impairment or disability. After you reach maximum medical improvement, you are entitled to a financial settlement from workers' compensation for any percentage of impairment or disability to the part of your body that was injured. You are likely entitled to this recovery even if you make a successful return to your prior employment.
Insurance adjusters almost always undervalue permanent partial impairment and disability claims, and almost never give consideration to permanent and total disability claims. At Cutler & Silverglade, we will spend what needs to be spent, and work diligently towards a comprehensive settlement at the end of your case. We represent injured workers in Indiana and Illinois.
Protecting Your Financial Interests
Many injuries can cause permanent partial impairment or disability, or even permanent total disability. Our lawyers have helped people with simple claims involving modest impairment to specific parts of the body, to individuals who unfortunately are unable to return to any form of employment.
As your attorney in a workers' compensation case, we will take every action necessary to maximize your workers' comp settlement. If the insurance company is unreasonable, we can have your case heard by a judge.
Workers' compensation tip: If you are too disabled to return to work, it is very important to consult a workers' compensation attorney before you accept any worker's comp settlement, especially if you intend to apply for Social Security Disability. Social Security can reduce your future disability payments through set-offs if your workers compensation case is not properly resolved.
