Illinois law has extra benefits when a Firefighter, EMT, Paramedic, police officer, or State Police officer are injured on the job.

When an injured, most first responders who are totally off work while injured in the line of duty can receive 100 percent pay.

The typical pay for off work status in a work injury case is 2/3 pay.

This is advantageous because it reduces the burden of proof for the injured worker.
