Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Illinois

When you are injured while working, you have the right to file a claim against your employer and receive benefits under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act (820 ILCS 305). These benefits may include:

Medical Expenses

• Coverage for all reasonable medical bills related to your injury.

Temporary Total Disability (TTD)

• Compensation amounting to two-thirds of your average weekly wage for the time you are off work or on light duty under a doctor’s order.

Permanent Partial or Total Disability Benefits

• A lump sum of money to compensate you for lasting impairments that affect your ability to work.

Vocational Rehabilitation

• Assistance if you’re unable to return to your previous job, including retraining or job placement services.

Our attorneys guide you through every step of the claims process, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations while we work diligently to maximize your compensation.

Your Rights After a Workplace Injury

If you’ve been hurt on the job, it’s crucial to take immediate action to protect your rights:

Report the Injury Promptly

• Notify your supervisor or employer as soon as possible. Illinois law requires that you report your injury within 45 days, but sooner is better to prevent disputes.

Seek Medical Attention

• Obtain medical treatment right away and inform the healthcare provider that your injury is work-related.

Document Everything

• Keep detailed records of all communications, medical visits, expenses, and any changes in your work status.
