Yes! A personal injury attorney helps injured employees deal with insurance companies to secure the best possible compensation.

What Is a Third-Party Lawsuit in a Workers’ Compensation Case?

If a negligent third party contributed to your workplace injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them. These claims can provide additional compensation for damages not covered by work injury claims, such as pain and suffering.

For instance, if you were involved in a car accident or truck accident while working, you may have a valid personal injury claim.

What Are Illinois Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

Illinois Workers Compensation Benefits for Workers in Naperville

The Illinois workers’ compensation system, managed by the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC), requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Under Illinois law (the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305, et al.), you can seek workers’ compensation benefits for medical expenses if you were injured or made ill on the job, regardless of who was at fault.

Illinois workers’ compensation law includes:

  • Temporary Total Disability (TTD) provides wage replacement and medical care while you are temporarily unable to work.
  • Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) offers benefits if injured workers return to work but earn less due to injuries.
  • Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) provides compensation for workers left with a permanent impairment.
  • Permanent Total Disability (PTD) offers lifetime financial support for those who are permanently and totally disabled.
  • Death benefits cover funeral expenses and provide financial support for the surviving family members of a worker.

Disability payments are based on your average weekly wages and vary depending on whether you have partial or permanent disability benefits.

Why Can Workers’ Compensation Cases Be Denied?

In Illinois, a workers’ compensation claim might be denied if the injury or illness wasn’t reported on time, lacks sufficient evidence, involves preexisting conditions, isn’t a work-related injury, or is an injury that occurred outside of work.
