Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Belleville IL
You might be wondering “what, exactly, is workers’ comp?” It’s a great question; workers’ compensation laws protect injured workers and workers that have developed a serious illness as a result of their occupation or workplace. Additionally, only injuries and illnesses that are solely caused by the workplace are eligible to receive workers’ comp payments. Also, not all work injuries are equal in the eyes of workers’ comp laws. The nature and severity of an injury will determine what benefit category it falls into, including temporary partial disabilities, temporary total disabilities, permanent partial disabilities, permanent total disabilities. Your benefit category means different levels of compensation, access to medical care, and even re-training in some cases.
Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Belleville IL
If you’re injured at work, you won’t get paid for just any injury, and you must follow the proper claims process to ensure correct payments get made. Here are some tips about filing for workers’ comp payments to think about:
- Notify your employer of the injury as soon as possible and fill out the correct paperwork. Delaying could be detrimental to your case. In Illinois, notify your employer within 45 days of the injury or within 90 days of radiation exposure. In Missouri, the deadline is 30 days from the occurrence of the injury.
- After the employer is notified, they should notify their workers’ compensation administrator or insurance carrier that a claim has been filed; they decide your eligibility for benefits upon reviewing your claim.
- After reviewing the claim, workers’ comp payments will start, or the claim will be denied. The employer must provide written explanation for any claim denial.
- Following claim denial, we file the proper paperwork to receive a hearing the workers’ compensation commission, and we go about proving the cause of your injuries.
