Illinois worker employed by Indiana Company received $60,000 in medical treatment and wages as well as a $30,000 settlement after two firms declined to take the case

Jauregui & Associates represented an Illinois Drywaller that was hurt in Indiana after a fall from a scaffold.  The main injury was a torn rotator cuff in the shoulder. This case presented a tough legal issue: Can an Illinois Resident that works in another state apply for Illinois Workers’ Compensation benefits? Two other law firms had declined to take the case. We ensured that the Illinois worker received his benefits and a reasonable settlement.
