  • What is Workers’ Compensation?

    Workers’ compensation laws protect workers that are injured or develop serious illnesses as a result of their occupation. Furthermore, these injuries and illnesses may be temporary or permanent, and the compensation is based on what benefit category you fall in to. Additionally, your benefit category will depend on the type and severity of the injury or illness that you’ve sustained. The role of your workplace in the development of the injury or illness is also taken into consideration. However, workers’ comp doesn’t just happen; you play a role in how your case will be resolved. Be sure to read on about the workers’ comp process and ensure you’re taking the right steps!

  • How Do I File for Workers’ Comp in Collinsville, IL?

    If you’re injured at work, you must follow the correct process in order to claim workers’ compensation. Here’s the general process of a workers’ comp claim:

  • • Notify your employer as soon as you can. In Illinois, you have 45 days from the time of the injury and 90 days from any exposure to radiation. In Missouri, you have 30 days from the time you notice any injury or illness.

    • Your employer must notify their insurer or workers’ compensation administrator to report that a claim has been filed. They determine your eligibility for benefits.

  • • Next, your employer will choose to begin payments or to deny the claim. If a claim is denied, the employer must provide a written notification for the reasoning behind the denial.

    • Finally, we file a hearing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission to prove your injuries.
