Under Illinois’ workers’ compensation law, your employer cannot retaliate against you after you file a workers’ comp claim.
This means you cannot be fired or demoted. It means you cannot be have your pay cut or your hours slashed. It means you should be safe to file for the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve after a workplace injury.
Of course, it’s not always that simple. At Harvey L. Walner & Associates, Ltd., we understand that you might be reluctant to in any way agitate the company which provides your living.
