What We Can Do in a Workers’ Compensation Claim
The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act provides that all employers must compensate workers hurt while engaging in work-related tasks with financial support for their losses. Proving this is challenging. Our legal team will:
- Investigate the incident. We want to find out who is at fault and why it happened fully.
- Handle the insurance company and all of its questions.
- Negotiate fair compensation for you
- Navigate the complexities of the law when you have permanent injuries or substantial limitations on your ability to work
- Handle any appeals of denials you are experiencing
The law allows you to seek fair compensation. We make sure you know what your rights are every step of the way.
What Your Illinois Workers’ Compensation Benefits Are
As noted under Illinois workers’ compensation law 820 ILCS 305/8, you have the right to recover all necessary medical care expenses sustained as a result of your on-the-job injuries. If you are unable to work for more than three days due to your injury, you may also receive temporary total disability. This pays you two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to the state minimums. You continue to receive benefits until your doctor allows you to go back to work.
For those with permanent injuries and the inability to work at all, you may be able to seek permanent partial disability. This provides you with compensation for a predetermined number of weeks based on the injury, wage differential up to two-thirds of your pre-injury earnings, and a percentage of the person as a whole, which compensates you for the way this injury impacts you throughout your life.
You may be owed additional benefits. Our Bensenville workers’ compensation lawyer will investigate fully to determine what your maximum recovery should be.
