Illinois Social Security Lawyer
Every Wednesday we provide five legal tips based on questions we have recently received from callers.
I am a general contractor who is owed about $20,000.00 from a homeowner. They asked for a sworn statement as to what I owe. Do I need to do that for a mechanic’s lien?
Yes, failure to do so could end your case.
I am applying for social security disability because I am off work while undergoing chemo. Do I need an attorney?
No, just apply ASAP.
If I was exposed to asbestos 20 years ago while working do I have a lawsuit? I’ve been coughing a lot lately.
First off, go to a doctor because nothing is more important than your health. If you do have an illness you may have a lawsuit and/or workers’ compensation claim.
I am being sued for $1,000 because I didn’t pay my phone bill. Do I need a lawyer?
It’s not worth it unless you want to fight it out of principle. In other words paying a lawyer $1,500 to avoid $1,000 doesn’t make sense. Just make sure you don’t miss a court date or they will get everything they are looking for.
My dad died in 2003 after he got hit by a car. I can finally deal with the thought of a lawsuit emotionally. Is it too late?
We are sorry for your loss. Unfortunately it is too late as the wrongful death statute of limitations is two years from the date that it happened. Once that passes there is nothing we can do.
