Workplace accidents and injuries must be reported accurately and in a timely fashion to an employer if you want a chance at a successful workers’ compensation claim. Failure to report your accident or reporting your incident outside of the time limits set by the state of Illinois can cause issues with getting your claim approved.
If you are having trouble with workers’ compensation claim denials or understanding your workers’ compensation rights, it is vital to contact an Illinois workers’ compensation lawyer who can help you.
Failure to Report Can Lead to Claim Denial
After a workplace accident occurs, it can feel overwhelming to keep up with all of the paperwork that needs to be completed. This is often made more difficult by the recovery process, especially if you suffered a catastrophic injury as a result of your workplace accident.
