Workers Compensation
State rather than Federal law regulates workers compensation. In Illinois, employers are required to provide workers compensation benefits for employees suffering personal injury or wrongful death during the course of employment, free of cost to the employee. An employee receiving workers compensation in a timely manner may not bring suit against his employer for a job related injury.
The State of Illinois also makes provisions for sole proprietors and business partners under the Workers Compensation Act. Employees working out of state, but employed by an Illinois employer, are covered by workers compensation, regardless of where the work-related accident took place or where the Illinois employer hired the employee.
Workers Compensation is designed to assist workers with medical expenses and lost wages. When a workers compensation claim is delayed or denied by an employer, a personal injury lawyer experienced in dealing with workers compensation claims can investigate your claim, check on the status of benefits, and evaluate your case to determine whether the most effective course of action is a negotiated settlement or a lawsuit.
At the Budin Law Offices we are committed to assisting our clients so they receive the workers compensation benefits to which they are entitled, in a timely manner.
