Legal Guidance After a Work-Related Back Injury
Sustaining a back injury or neck injury on the job after working several years for a company can be difficult on many levels. You have given yourself to the company for years and a single action may have changed your career.
Insurance companies will argue that your injury was caused by degenerative conditions, not the workplace accident. They have doctors who are willing to testify against your case.
Moreover, you are faced with the challenges of seeking workers' compensation benefits and when you return to work, avoiding being coerced back into full-duty work before you are fully healed.
Our lawyers at Becker, Schroader & Chapman, PC are effective in protecting and asserting the rights of clients in these situations. Contact us today to discuss your specific situation. We have offices in Granite City, Centralia, and Jacksonville, IL, as well as St. Louis.
Where Were You Working When You Were Injured?
A back injury can occur in almost any job setting. But there are certain occupations and industries in which they are more common. These include:
- Airline workers
- Health care workers
- Manufacturing workers
- Warehouse workers
Our attorneys have the experience in
workers' compensation cases to assert your interests effectively.
Pre-Existing Conditions
There is a common misconception regarding pre-existing conditions. If your claim was denied due to a pre-existing condition, it is critical to have your case reviewed by an experienced lawyer. Under Illinois law, an aggravation of a pre-existing condition IS compensable in personal injury and workers' compensation cases.
