Across all types of workers, back injuries are some of the most common types of work-related medical conditions. From lifting heavy objects to sitting with poor posture, there are countless ways that individuals’ job duties can lead to back pain and injuries that may even require surgery.
If you suffered a back injury on the job, you may have a claim for workers’ compensation. With only limited exceptions, Illinois law requires all employers to maintain workers’ compensation insurance to cover their employees’ work-related injuries. Importantly, you do not need to have been performing your official job duties when you were injured in order to claim workers’ compensation.
