Do not rely on your employer’s explanation of the benefits you may be entitled to under Illinois worker's comepnsation law, talk to an Aurora workers' compensation benefits lawyer instead. Under the provisions of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act, some of the benefits your injuries may qualify you to recover are:
Two-thirds of your current average weekly earnings—up to $1,019.73 while off work
Immediate medical benefits, up to two doctors of your own choice
Compensation for permanent injury beyond your lost time and medical benefits
Two-thirds of the difference in lost wages if your new job pays less than your old one
Expenses necessary for retraining, vocational rehabilitation, job searches, and college tuition
This is by no means an exhaustive list; many other workers' compensation benefits are available. You can even receive prescription drugs through the Injured Worker’s Pharmacy with no payment up front while you wait for your benefit payments to start arriving.
Even if no one witnessed your work accident, as long as you file your worker's comp claim within 45 days, a witness is not necessary. Likewise, if you have been injured at work and everything has been being paid but then stops—leaving you hung out to dry—I can get you and your case into court within 15 days.
And if you have an injury that did not result from a specific incident, it is still not too difficult to get your workman's compensation claim validated and to move forward in a timely fashion.
Workers' compensation is not ‘optional’ and regardless of what you may have been told by your employer, if you have been injured because of your job it is your right to file a claim and have a hearing before the commission.
Fortunately, the determination of benefits under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act is fairly straightforward with little ambiguity. Contact an experienced workers' compensation benefits lawyer - call me today at my Aurora office for a free initial consultation.
