Focus on getting well. We’ll focus on your rights.
Understanding your benefits
The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act is a no-fault system. An injured worker does not need to prove employer negligence to seek benefits. Depending on the claim, benefits may include necessary medical care, compensation for time away from work, and a settlement after treatment.
When a claim becomes complicated
An employer may deny that an injury happened at work. Medical bills or lost wages may go unpaid, treatment may be refused, or an insurer may request an examination by its own doctor. You do not have to navigate these issues alone.
Personal representation, from start to finish

- Keep a record of the incident and the names of any witnesses.
- Seek medical attention and keep detailed records of your treatment.
- Record the dates you miss work.
- Speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement.
