WORKER'S COMPENSATION
HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED AT WORK?
Franks & Rechenberg, P.C.
Illinois Worker’s Compensation Lawyers
If you have been hurt on
the job, you may be entitled to worker’s
compensation benefits. If you are unable to
work, even partially or temporarily, you may
receive payments to make up for some of your
lost wages.
At the law firm of Franks
& Rechenberg, P.C., we help clients get the
benefits they deserve, as
the list of cases on our
verdicts and settlements page shows. If
you have had an accident on the job and
received a work injury, don’t delay—call
Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. today for a
free audit of your case.
Does my injury qualify?
-
An injury falls under
worker’s compensation if the injury
occurs during the course of employment.
-
Work-sponsored events
qualify if attendance is mandatory.
-
Employment must expose
the claimant to a greater risk than what
is faced by the general public.
What do I do if I am injured on the job?
-
Notify your employer
and file an incident report.
-
Get an
aggressive, qualified attorney to
represent you.
-
Bring the claim before
the appropriate administrative body.
According to Illinois law, you may not
bring a lawsuit in circuit court.
What benefits are available?
If you are eligible, your
benefits may include:
-
Temporary Total
Disability Benefits (TTD)
-
Medical Benefits
-
Permanent Partial
Disability Benefits (PPD)
-
Permanent Total
Disability
-
Vocational
Rehabilitation
-
Death Benefits
What if I get fired because I filed a
worker’s comp claim?
That is called retaliatory
discharge. It is illegal. An employer is not
allowed to fire you for seeking a legitimate
benefit. If you believe you have been
terminated unfairly, let us know. We can
represent you and help you get the benefits
to which you are entitled.
Remember, when you bring a
worker’s compensation claim, you are not
suing your employer. You are seeking
benefits for which your employer has
insurance.
If you have any questions,
call
Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. We can walk
you through the worker’s comp system and
explain what kinds of worker’s comp benefits
are available to you.
