Workers’ compensation is a system of benefits provided by law to most workers who have job-related injuries or diseases. These benefits are paid regardless of fault. Each state has its own workers’ compensation law. Illinois’ law first took effect in 1912, creating an administrative court system now called the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission to resolve disputes between injured workers and their employers. In Illinois, almost every employee who is hired, injured, or whose employment is localized in the state of Illinois is covered by the law. These employees are covered from the moment they begin their jobs.
If you or someone you know was injured on the job, or if you simply have questions about the process, contact us immediately for a free consultation.
