In a post the other day, I talked about not settling a case too fast. That’s true, but ironically we just were involved in a case that settled within 24 hours of the first call.

A client called us on a Monday. We referred her to a partner of ours in her area. Signed up that day, gave us her medical records from a five year old injury that was ready to settle. The insurance company had previously refused to make an offer. We valued the case at $50,000 and the attorney we recommended was able to get the insurance company to agree to that the same day.

In all my years of handling workers’ compensation cases, this is the quickest turn around I’ve ever seen. And I don’t expect I’ll see one that ever beats it. But I’d love to try.

We are workers’ compensation attorneys who help people with Illinois work injuries anywhere in IL via our statewide network of attorneys. Contact us and we will answer your questions or find the right lawyer for your situation.
