If you are unhappy with the attorney handling your Illinois workers’ compensation claim, you have options. You can seek a second opinion and, if necessary, change attorneys while your case is still pending.

At Krol, Bongiorno & Given, our Chicago workers’ compensation attorneys can review your case and provide an honest assessment of how your claim is being handled.

When Should You Consider a Second Opinion?

Workers’ compensation cases can take time, and delays do not always mean something is wrong. However, you should be able to communicate with your attorney and understand what is happening with your case.

You may want a second opinion if your attorney repeatedly fails to return calls, provides few updates, does not clearly explain your options, or leaves important questions about medical treatment and benefits unanswered.

Getting a second opinion does not mean you have to change attorneys. If we believe your current lawyer is properly handling your claim, we will tell you. If we see concerns, we can explain your options.

Will Changing Attorneys Delay My Case?

Changing lawyers does not mean starting your workers’ compensation claim over. If you retain Krol, Bongiorno & Given, we can obtain the necessary case information, communicate with prior counsel, and take over the representation while keeping the transition as straightforward as possible.

You Deserve Answers About Your Case

A workplace injury can already mean medical treatment, lost wages, physical limitations, and uncertainty about returning to work. You should not also have to wonder why your attorney will not return your calls or explain your case.

Sometimes a second opinion confirms that your claim is being handled properly. Other times, it may show that a different approach should be considered. Either way, you will have more information to decide what is best for your case.

If you are concerned about your current representation, contact Krol, Bongiorno & Given for a confidential second opinion. There is no obligation to change attorneys simply because you speak with us. Call (312) 726-5567 or complete our online contact form to discuss your case.
