The experience of a workers’ compensation lawyer at Ankin Law helped a worker obtain benefits now and in the future for an injury.
That’s featured in the latest “Client Wins” from the personal injury law firm in Chicago – and one that Attorney Phil Risley had to work hard to get.
A client came to Ankin Law after a fall on the job left her with a significant arm and leg injury. It would require care not only now but also in the future, but the insurance company wasn’t as sympathetic to the latter.
That’s when Risley went to work.
“One of the things that the insurance company was overlooking was the fact that it was clear that my client was going to need future medical treatment,” said Risley. “We were able to go in, talk to the judge, have additional pre-trials, and go back-and-forth.”
That effort would lead the insurance company to agree to cover the future medical expenses as the case was settled ahead of trial. This is another example of Ankin Law’s ability to help those hurt on the job, since the law firm is the largest filer of workers’ compensation in Illinois.
