Bradley Dworkin
If you are an injured worker in Illinois, make sure that you know your legal rights. If you were injured while working, you are entitled to certain benefits, including:
- If you have to miss work because of a work related injury, you may be eligible to obtain total disability payments. Total disability payments are weekly payments that are equal to two-thirds (or 67%) of your weekly salary.
- You also are able to see two physicians of your choice. Your employer should pay all of the reasonable and necessary costs of these physicians. In addition, these doctors are able to refer you to other physicians, and your place of work must also pay for those expenses.
- Finally, you are eligible for permanent disability benefits. Permanent disability benefits are a settlement for your injury.
Your basic rights are covered by the Workers Compensation Act, in addition to other aspects covered by workers compensation law. The Illinois Workers Compensation Commission (formerly the Illinois Industrial Commission), rules on these cases based on the thousands of cases the Illinois courts ruled on which establish the legal precedent for future claims.
