Workers’
Compensation Lawyers

In Illinois, most employers are required to either obtain insurance or self-insure for workers’ compensation benefit for their employees. If you suffer an injury on the job, with only certain limited exceptions, you are entitled to benefits from your employer. Workers’ compensation is a “no fault” system, which means that you do not need to prove that your employer is to blame in order to be entitled to compensation.

Unfortunately, this isn’t quite as good as it sounds. You see, employers and their insurance companies do not like to pay workers’ compensation claims, and they will fight endlessly to avoid paying claims or to pay as little as possible. There are also strict guidelines around reporting your claim and which doctors you can see and still be eligible for compensation. As a result, employees who attempt to obtain workers’ compensation on their own often end up filing unsuccessful claims.
