Filing a Claim

Illinois Workers Compensation Claims Attorney

If you have been injured at work, seek medical attention immediately.

As soon as you are physically able, notify your employer of the accident or injury. If notification isn't made within 45 days of a work accident, you may forfeit your right to workers' compensation benefits. Notice may be given orally or in writing, but must be made to a person in a management position, not a co-worker.

If your on the job injury has left you unable to work for three consecutive days, your employer must do one of the following:

• Begin paying you benefits
• Explain in writing what additional information is required before benefits can be paid
• Provide written explanation of why benefits have been denied.
