 Workers’ Comp FAQs for Illinois Employees

  • Do I have to prove my employer was at fault?

    No. Workers’ comp is a no-fault system in Illinois. If you were injured on the job, you may qualify—even if no one else caused the accident.


  • What benefits can I receive?

    You may be entitled to medical coverage, lost wage payments (TTD), permanent disability benefits & job retraining or vocational rehab.

  • Can I see my own doctor?

    Yes—Illinois allows you to choose your doctor, not just the company clinic. We can help protect that right.


  • How long do I have to report a workplace injury?

    You must notify your employer within 45 days of the injury—but the sooner, the better. Delays can hurt your claim.


  • What if my claim was denied?

    Don’t give up. Many valid claims are denied the first time. We regularly handle appeals & hearings before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.
