Illinois  |  Personal Injury

There are a number of factors involved including your disablity rating and prior income. You need to contact a comp. lawyer. If you need one, and live in the Chicago I will be happy to provide you with a referral.

You have a workmen's compensation case which will provide a settlement to you for disfigurement as well as loss of functioning to the hand itself.

Please call to discuss should you wish to retain an attorney.

Many thanks,

Law Offices

With respect to the WC - there are formulas that are used which uses your wages, the type of your injures, your medical bills and such to come to a number. Speak with your attorney regarding this. If you do not have an attorney, you better speak to one if you want to make sure all your rights are protected--if you are counting on the insurance adjuster to be fair to you, you might as well believe in Unicorns.

You may also have a third party claim. For that, an attorney will have to examine the facts of your case, and see whether anyone else is also liable to you for your injuries.

If you have any questions or need clarification, you may call my office.

I hope this helps-
