Work related accidents can result from any type of employment. Construction jobs and ultra hazardous activities can cause the most serious of injuries, such as herniated discs requiring surgery, or crushed limbs. However, office workers are just as susceptible to develop a work related medical condition such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which comes from repetitive motions such as typing. Even some mental conditions developed at work may be compensable.
Any Illinois employee who is injured in the course of his/her employment and covered by the Worker's Compensation Act is entitled to medical benefits paid for by the employer. He/she may also be entitled to compensation while he/she is unable to work, known as Temporary Total Disability payments (2/3 of Average Weekly Wage, tax free). Once a person has been discharged from medical care, there often is some type of residual permanent disability for which the injured employee may be entitled to additional compensation.
If you have, or someone you know has been injured on the job, we can help to obtain the maximum recovery allowed under the law!
The
longer you wait, the longer your rights may be jeopardized.
