First it is Covid 19. Now riots. Crazy world.
What happens if you are injured on the job during the course of a riot?
Hope not, but if it happens in Illinois. The law is on your side.
Workers’ Compensation in Illinois does not require the injury to be the fault of your employer. You are doing your job and the rioters hurt you, then you have the right to sue for Work Comp benefits.
The benefits include medical benefits, off work pay, and a settlement once your doctor releases you to return to work.
Remember if you are injured on the job contact an Illinois Work Comp lawyer right away to protect you and your family. Call us at 309-827-4371.
