When you’re having a medical emergency, every second counts. Having a delay in care can lead to serious or life-changing consequences. One of the scariest situations is when a doctor or hospital doesn’t recognize the signs of a stroke. A stroke is a true medical emergency, and if it’s not caught and treated right away, it can cause permanent brain damage, problems with walking or speaking, or even death. If something like this happened to you or a loved one, you may have…

    A reader of our blog asked us the following:

    I was hurt on the job and have a back injury. I’ve been off work for three weeks now. When do I start getting paid work comp benefits. I have bills!

    This is a really common situation. The answer is that you should get paid within the first two weeks of missed time. Under Illinois workers’ compensation law, benefits start on the 4th calendar day of missed work. Once you miss 14 calendar days, you get those first three days back too.

    It’s important to remember, calendar days is not actual…

We’ve seen a handful of wage theft issues lately and thought it would be helpful to know what some employers are doing so you can look out for them.

    A recent caller had a situation we see a lot and the best response is to sue on a class action basis to stop it. His employer will round up 15 minutes if you clocked in early and other…

    Out of fear of being sued for legal malpractice, trying to get rid of a case they don’t want or general cowardice, Illinois attorneys will lie to potential and existing clients. These aren’t done maliciously or because they are bad people, but often for financial reasons.

    For 24 years now of helping people find the right lawyer for their case, I’ve always told people the truth even when that meant explaining why I can’t help. A lot of these people come to me after talking to other attorneys. They share what they are told and it’s often clearly a lie.

    Now a lot of people who will give you advice mean well or honestly think they know what they are talking about. Sometimes they actually do whether it’s because they are smart or just got lucky.

    But I beg you not to take legal advice from your non-attorney friends. It’s…
