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.
There is enough stress going on without the additional worry of being injured on the job.
Illinois law protects injured workers.
It provides for medical treatment for your injuries, off work pay, and once your treatment is completed you are entitled to a settlement.
To protect your rights you should complete a written injury report as soon as possible after your accident. Go to the doctor right away, and tell the doctor and medical person how you were hurt at work and all body parts injured. Follow through with all medical treatment recommended.
Keep your work and the insurance company updated with all off work slips and doctor notes regarding upcoming treatment.
Make sure to get your settlement from the insurance company at the end of your treatment. Consult a lawyer to make sure you are being paid the correct amount. Illinois Workers’ Compensation attorneys only get paid when you are paid.

This is an update regarding what is happening in Illinois legal cases.
Social Security is no longer holding in person or video hearings. However, Social Security continues to allow telephone hearings. The result is the same if you win: you are entitled to monthly benefits for the rest of your life and many times you will get back benefits.
There is no indication when in person or video hearings will resume for Social Security cases.
Illinois Workers’ Compensation hearings have been on hold since the Ides of March. They are scheduled to resume in June. This will allow cases to be decided and winning injured workers will be paid.
Illinois Work Comp cases may still be settled. This will be the fastest way to be paid.
Things are looking up for injured workers and those who can no longer work because the legal system will be able to process cases and get people money they need and deserve.
