Shootings and Workers’ Compensation

The rash of work place shootings is sad and disturbing.

Illinois law provides for victims of work place shootings to be compensated.

If an employee is killed, then the family may recover death benefits.

If a co-worker views the shooting and suffers trauma, then the co-worker may be able to recover benefits.

Much is situation specific, so you should contact an Illinois Work Comp lawyer to discuss.
