Helping You Get the Medical Testing and Treatment You Need Following a Work-Related Accident or Injury
Under Illinois Workers' Compensation law, you have the right to receive medical treatment from a doctor of your own choice. Your employer is required by law to provide reasonable and necessary medical treatment for your work-related injury or medical condition. Despite the law, many companies routinely deny requests to authorize diagnostic testing or medical treatment and deny payment of other medical benefits.
Has the insurance company denied an MRI test, CAT scan, medical evaluation, back or neck surgery, physical therapy, or other medical treatment for your work-related injury? At Strong Law Office, we understand how important it is for you, as an injured worker, to obtain the best possible medical care.
Call us toll free at 1-866-606-7862 or contact us to schedule a free consultation with an aggressive, yet caring workers' compensation lawyer. We will fight as hard and as long as needed to get approval and payment for the medical testing and treatment you are entitled to under the work comp rules.
Don't Let Them Get Away With "Deny and Delay" Claim Strategies
Employers and insurance companies think that a percentage of employees won't bother to fight for the workers' compensation benefits they are entitled to. By denying that an injury or accident is work-related, or by denying or delaying payment of medical bills, insurance companies hope that someone else — such as you, another insurance carrier, Medicare, or other public insurance — will be forced to pick up the tab for your medical benefits.
Don't let your employer or the work comp insurance company escape paying for the medical benefits you need and deserve. If your doctor's request to authorize medical testing or treatment, or your request for payment of medical bills has been denied or delayed, we will fight to help you get authorization for and payment of necessary medical treatment.

At Strong Law Offices, we understand the intricacies of the Illinois workers' compensation laws. You deserve treatment for your work-related back injury or other workplace injury. When you hire our office to represent you, we immediately get a report or statement from your doctor, take prompt action to establish the claim as work-related and file for a hearing.
