Workers’ comp is intended as a safety net for injuries on the job. In fact, it is estimated that at least 91 percent of Illinois employees are covered under the state’s workers’ compensation laws. However, there are cases where claims get denied, leaving injured employees out in the cold. If your claim for compensation has been denied, an Illinois workers’ comp attorney can help you take legal action.

Why Do Claims Get Denied?
What separates personal injury claims from workers’ comp claims is fault. In a workers’ compensation claim, you do not have to prove that anybody else caused your injury to get paid. This means that there are limited grounds on which workers’ comp can be denied.
