    On-the-Job Accidents and Injuries In Illinois

    Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that as many as 200,000 workers in Illinois are injured either on the job or during the course of their employment. Accidents and injuries can occur in any occupation and often involve the following:

    • Slips, trips, and falls;
    • Being struck by or against an object;
    • Motor vehicle and transportation-related accidents;
    • Fires and explosions;
    • Exposure to harmful substances and chemicals;
    • Electrocutions and exposure to live wiring;
    • Violence in the workplace.

    Any of the above can leave you suffering severe and potentially life threatening injuries that can impact your ability to work, both now and in the future.

    What To Do When You Are Injured On The Job

    The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) provides benefits for injured workers, including payment for medical expenses and physical rehabilitation, and reimbursement for lost wages. In the event your injury or illness results in either temporary or permanent impairments, you may be entitled to benefits even after you return to work. To protect your rights to benefits, it is important to do the following:

    • Notify your employer immediately;
    • Seek medical care from an employer approved provider;
    • Follow your doctor’s instructions, including any work restrictions;
    • Contact the IWCC to ensure your employer has filed a claim.

    If your claim is approved, you should begin receiving your benefits within 30 days. In the event your employer fails to file your claim, disputes your injuries, or your claim is denied, you have the right to hire an attorney to investigate your case and appeal the decision.
