Chicago Personal Injury Attorneys, Illinois Accident Lawyers

In Illinois, workers' compensation is a no-fault system and your employer has “strict liability” for all work-related injuries that happen to you out of, and in the course of, your work. That means that you must be paid workers' compensation benefits for your medical costs, physical disability, loss of earning, and death.

Usually, your employer purchases insurance from an insurance company to cover its responsibilities under the workers' compensation laws. The amount your employer must pay for workers' compensation insurance depends upon the number of accident claims that the insurance company pays. This creates an economic incentive to encourage your employer to reduce accidents and increase the safety of employee-working conditions.
