Berwyn, IL asked in Workers' Compensation for Illinois

Q: My TTD benefits were stopped by the insurance attorney as an attempt to force me to accept their low settlement offer,

which was turned down. Can I receive the missed benefits in my settlement? I do have an attorney who is not communicating with me, I can only speak with the clerk who answers the phone.

A: You stated you have an attorney, thus your question should be directed to your attorney. You should call and demand that you speak with them personally. If you are dissatisfied with the attorney, you are always free to terminate their services and hire a new one. I wish you the best.
