"My Waukegan workers' compensation lawyer said he has too many cases."

This comment came from a frustrated caller.  Essentially their lawyer hadn't called them back in a week to tell them what he would do about the fact that his TTD benefits had been cut off.  The Waukegan work injury attorney's "apology" was something to the effect of, "I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I have 200 clients and you are just one of them so you have to be patient."

Really?  Your source of income gets cut off and you should just be patient?  I don't think so.

So many attorneys seem to forget that while they have a lot of cases, their clients only have one.  This is why our office and the lawyers we affiliate with do not handle finger contusion or other really minor injury cases.  It takes just as much time to handle those cases and we'd rather focus our time on helping clients that have a lot at stake.

If you call your lawyer and you don't get a call back within one business day, we view that as a bad sign.  In fact our policy is to always return calls ASAP. 

Can you imagine a surgeon telling a gunshot victim to be patient?  Either can we.  When your benefits have been terminated your life is on the line so to speak.  Demand better of your lawyer.
