What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
So I have been on work comp since June 09 from a Car accident while at work. My low right side of my back got injured. Been on work comp since. MRI says everything is aok, but my job I have to sit down for 8-16hrs a day. I cannot do that. Work comp stop benefits a month ago after I had an IME. I had over 2 months of PT, MRI, ERG, TWO shots on SI Joint, and several doc visits since June 09. I saw another Orthopedic, said off work plus more shots in back. What should I do???? Should i fight for the lost month TTD checks. There has been no surveillance at all. Pretty lawyer wants me to settle....How much would the settlement be for about an year out of work make 36,000 with lumbago and Radiculopathy????
I still have pain in right side sitting and standing to long.
So work called me and offered me a severance package, of two weeks pay, pay for 5000.00 in health insurance, leave on good teams, and will not fight unemployment. There has to be a reason why they are doing this, they only benefit themselves. I NEED HELP**************MY lawyer is not helping me.
Some please explain this to me....How much should my settlement be and what to with work severance package...and why would they do this...THANK YOUWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
