Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois

My father fell at work and his employer doesn't want to pay. My father had a bad concussion and he told in the ER report that he got dizzy and fell. He meant, he got dizzy after he got up. His employer is using that statement against him. English is his second language and he had a concussion...how can they even take that statement seriously? What can we do?

He simply needs to have a case filed. Most Arbitrators will understand the language barrier issue and it can be explained away at a trial if your Dad comes across as honest. If you'd like our help call us at (800) 517-1614.
