In Illinois, work-related injuries are unfortunately common, especially in physically demanding or hazardous occupations. According to data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 5,190 work-related deaths reported in the United States in 2021.

When it comes to workers’ rights and compensation, it is important to understand the laws specific to Illinois. In Illinois, employers with at least one employee are required to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance coverage. This coverage provides benefits to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses arising out of and in the course of their employment.

In most cases, when an employee is injured on the job, they cannot file a personal injury claim against their employer. Instead, the primary avenue for seeking compensation is through the Workers’ Compensation system. Workers’ Compensation benefits typically include coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and disability benefits.
