If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Most employers in Illinois are required to provide their employees with workers’ compensation for workplace injuries, regardless of who was at fault. An Illinois workers’ comp attorney can walk you through the process of applying for workers’ comp, advocating for the payment you rightfully deserve.

Medical Expenses
A workers’ compensation claim can cover the cost of your injuries, including surgeries, physical therapy, and a visit to an urgent care center. In general, workers’ compensation will cover all treatment that is deemed “medically necessary” for your health and well-being. For instance, your employer might cover the cost of surgery for a broken back, plus the cost of pain medication and rehabilitation after the surgery.
