Work Accidents

The Illinois workers' compensation system provides financial and medical benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work. This no-fault system ensures that workers receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation without needing to prove negligence. Employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, which protects both them and their employees by covering claims efficiently. The system aims to support injured workers while allowing businesses to operate without the fear of costly lawsuits.
