Illinois Work Injury law provides benefits for death claims, serious injuries, fractures, and surgical procedures among other types of injuries. Make sure to speak with us about your work injury and how Illinois law applies to you.
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.

What do you do if your supervisor or boss tells you to go to the hospital after a work injury and use your health insurance?
The purpose of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act is to protect injured workers.
The Law requires the Employer to pay for medical treatment related to your work injury.
You should not have to pay for your own doctor visits and medical procedures.
What if your supervisor or boss does not write up an injury report after you tell them about your injury?
Almost every business has a policy that work injuries are to be documented.
If your boss will not complete an accident report, then write a letter or email to your supervisor explaining how you were hurt at work. Keep a copy of it. You will need it later for your case.
What is at stake?
Illinois Law provides that injured workers are entitled to medical treatment, off work pay and a monetary settlement.
