ManagementIf you're a manager who's looking to retain the services of an Illinois workers compensation attorney, you may have many questions. What kinds of injuries typically befall mangers? And how do these injuries qualitatively differ from the injuries that subordinates suffer? Office workers and managers alike tend to contract soft tissue injuries from overuse. They likewise get into traffic accidents (driving to and from work functions, for instance) and suffer from exposure to toxic elements at the workplace. That said, managers in general suffer fewer specifically physical injuries – such as slip and falls, twists, sprains, and the like. A manager's isolation from his or her coworkers can also mean a slower response time when accidents occur. For instance, a worker on a factory floor who twists an ankle or gets caught in a piece of machinery can quickly turn to a nearby coworker. A manger who hits her head on her desk in her private office, on the other hand, may have to wait significantly longer for help to arrive. Another big difference is that many managers own their own businesses. This further complicates the picture, especially in terms of insurance. For instance, if a wood shop owner loses a finger while cutting a piece of furniture, he may face a stark choice. Should he file for workers compensation? Or should he "let it go," so that his insurance rates don’t get jacked up? To help with these and other questions related to your Chicago workers compensation claim, trust the attorneys of Steven J.
