WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

“From the start, it is crucial that you take the appropriate steps to understand and preserve your rights to fair compensation and medical care paid by Workers’ Compensation. This can only be done by a free consultation with Serowka Law.
Insurance companies and human resource departments know that the period of time right after the injury is the time you are least likely to have the right legal advice to avoid their tricks and traps. This is why a consultation is necessary.
Failure to know your rights and avoid these traps will likely result in a reduction in the recovery and denial of quality medical care necessary for you to properly heal.
In Illinois, you have the right to: (bullet point out the below rights)
  • Consult with an attorney without fear of discharge or discrimination;
  • A choice of two doctors at company expense for medical care (rules are complicated).
  • Choice of doctor is the most important right controlling how your injury is perceived and therefore whether you will receive full medical care and workers' compensation pay allowing you the time to properly heal;
  • Receive two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you are unable to work;
  • Receive a wage supplement if you return to a restricted duty job while under medical care and earn less than before the injury;
  • A “settlement amount” for residual disability once done with treatment.
