Permanent Total Disability

Have you suffered a serious, life-changing injury? Are the impacts from this injury making it difficult or impossible to work as you once did? If so, you may legally and medically qualify for Permanent Total Disability benefits.

Permanent Total Disability (PTD) is a legal term that describes permanent restrictions determined by your doctor that make it impossible to continue in your current job. You may also have restrictions that will not allow you to complete work duties or find gainful employment in a similar capacity.

At Balke & Williams, we fight on behalf of injured workers across McHenry County and the Crystal Lake area. You see, insurance companies often challenge PTD determinations made by doctors and seek to limit these large lump-sum payouts. In an effort to protect our client’s best interests, our permanent total disability lawyers anticipate these tactics and work to obtain maximum compensation.

Balke & Williams understand the burdens and stresses you face during these challenging situations. Throughout the entire permanent total disability claims process, we will aggressively assert your rights to secure the outcome you deserve.

Our firm has a track record of success with PTD cases across Illinois. No matter what, we will work diligently to manage all aspects of your workers’ compensation claim so you can focus on adjusting to any changes to your lifestyle, mobility, or daily routine.

How Insurance Companies Treat Maximum Medical Improvement

Once a doctor determines that you are at “maximum medical improvement,” the insurance company may choose to stop paying 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 owed.

Insurance companies may also neglect cases as long as possible to put off payment to resolve your claim. Our attorneys will take strategic action for the efficient and just resolution of your claim, always putting your welfare above everything else.
