The unknown stirs up fear. The impact and after effects of the coronavirus is one of those unknowns. Permanent limitations are important in Social Security Disability and Illinois Workers’ Compensation cases. The law does make provision for people who can no longer work in at least these two areas. If you know someone who suffers from permanent restrictions as a result of Covid 19 please feel free to contact me at 309-827-4371.
Many front line workers are being exposed to the coronavirus.
From healthcare workers, to grocery store employees, Walmart workers, and meat plant laborers these are high risk jobs.
If you become infected what happens?
Illinois law provides protection from workers in these high risk jobs.
Insurance companies may attempt to deny claims based on exposure somewhere outside the workplace, however you should press your claim.
Pursuant to Illinois law you are entitled to off work pay, medical treatment, and a permanent partial disability settlement at the end of the case.
This is a frightening disease, but do not let an insurance company scare you even more.
Feel free to contact Illinois Work Comp Attorney Dirk May at 309-827-4371 to discuss your case.
