Top Illinois Work Comp Tip

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

The top Illinois Workers’ Compensation tip for the week is to file your injury report right away with your supervisor or boss.

The natural reaction is to wait and see if you are really hurt before you file or go to the doctor.

This may be fatal to your claim.

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Arbitrators look closely at your injury reports and medical history at or close to the time of injury. If they are delayed or do not explain the injury happened at work, then you may lose the case.

You should file an incident report with your supervisor even if you do not know whether the injury is permanent.

Make a copy of the report for your records. This is important evidence for your case.

Go to the doctor as soon as possible and explain what body parts were injured and how the accident happened at work.

You will be glad you followed these simple steps to protect your claim.

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Facts in Covid Times

Dirk May Workers Compensation ,

Covid 19 has certainly impacted many, many things in our lives.

However, Illinois Workers’ Compensation cases are still alive and moving forward in these uncertain times.

The Commission that runs the Illinois Work Comp system is now up and running again.

There are still some problems with the system.

The insurance company attorneys must agree to a trial. If this does not happen then a trial will not be granted.

In the past the Arbitrator had the authority to force the case to trial. Not in Covid times.

This delays getting cases resolved.

You may still may file cases with the Commission. This forces the insurance company to work on your case and explain why they are not authorizing treatment or paying you.

Cases are still being settled. This insures that you get paid and moves the cases in the system.
