Southern Illinois Workers'  Compensation Lawyers

If you get hurt on the job in Illinois and your employer carries workers'  compensation insurance, your legal rights are often limited to the benefits available by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act.

There is an important exception to this general rule. If you were injured on the job as a result of a defective product or as a result of the negligence of someone who was not working for your employer, you may have a valid negligence or third party case. We encourage you to call our workers'  compensation attorneys so we can discuss these possibilities with you at the earliest opportunity.

Workers' compensation is an Illinois State program that functions to replace income lost by a worker who is injured on the job. It helps to restore earning capacity and return the worker to productive employment at the earliest moment.

Medical benefits covered by workers' compensation in Illinois are those that are necessary to cure or relieve you from the effects of the accidental injury. This includes physicians, medications, surgery and hospitalization. If your doctor says that treatment is necessary, the employer will probably be responsible for it. The treatment costs must be reasonable in price and related to the work injury.
