Workers’ Compensation: An Overview
File for Workers’ Compensation Payments in Alton IL
- The first step you take should be to notify your employer of an injury that prohibits you from working. In Illinois, the notification must take place within 45 days of the injury or 90 of exposure to radiation. In Missouri, you must notify within 30 days of the injury.
- Next, your employer should notify their workers’ comp administrator or insurance carrier that a claim has been filed. They will decide whether to deny or approve your workers’ comp claim.
- After reviewing the claim, they will either approve or deny your claim. Upon approval, payments will begin. Upon denial, they must provide notification of the reasoning for the denial.
- Once a claim is denied, we file the appropriate paperwork to request a hearing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission to prove your injury or illness.
