Worker’s compensation is no joke. Employers will attempt to prove that you were willfully negligent and therefore your injuries are your fault. You will try to argue otherwise, but without a lawyer, it’s impossible to make it stick. Waukegan worker’s compensation lawyers have seen it all before, which is why they work so hard to help their clients get their worker’s comp benefits.
Your Side, Their Side
Judges will always listen to both sides of a case. It’s what they are supposed to do. However, judges listen to evidence and not emotional pleas or supplications. Clients can get very emotional about the situation, and it’s hard not to.
Lawyers are not likely to get as emotional because they have been trained to stay level-headed in a courtroom. Where you might be alone in a courtroom and fail at pleading your worker’s comp case, a lawyer would succeed. There are only certain situations where such cases would be lost.
