McHenry County, Illinois, Permanent Total Disability Attorneys
Suffering a serious injury that causes permanent disability can result in lost wages, an inability to care for your family, and can leave you in severe financial distress. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to collect Permanent Total Disability from your employers' workers' compensation insurance carrier. At Brad J. Balke, P.C., we offer strategic legal advocacy focused on protecting the victims and families of tragic accidents that result in permanent disability.
Permanent disabilities can result in significant medical expenses, long-term care needs, and an inability to work. It is important to contact a law firm that can aggressively assert your rights and maximize your benefits and recovery.
What is Permanent Total Disability (PTD)?
Permanent Total Disability is a legal term that describes permanent restrictions determined by your doctor that render you unable to work in your current job. You may also have restrictions that limit you from performing your job duties or obtaining gainful employment in a similar capacity. We are experienced in PTD, workers’ compensation injury and in non-workplace accident cases.
Protecting your rights against insurance companies
Insurance companies will aggressively challenge the Permanent Total Disability determinations made by a doctor and seek to limit a PTD pay-out because it is such a large lump sum. Once a doctor determines that you are at “maximum medical improvement,” the insurance company may not continue to pay your medical expenses or temporary total disability benefits. They may accuse you of faking your disability or exaggerating your injury. They may also accuse you of rejecting gainful employment or simply delay paying you the benefits that you are due. Our attorneys understand the burdens and stresses you face and will aggressively assert your rights to recover Permanent Total Disability (PTD).
Insurance companies will tend to neglect cases as long as possible to delay payment or the resolution of your claim. Our attorneys will take aggressive and strategic action for the efficient and just resolution of your claim.
