Every workplace poses some opportunity for injury. Some workplace injuries are minor, requiring little more than a bandage. However, many workplace accidents result in serious injury and demand the attention of an Illinois workers’ compensation attorney.
Workers’ compensation is a no fault insurance program designed to cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages following a workplace injury. Nearly every employee in Illinois is covered by workers’ compensation, but getting this benefit is not always easy.
