Workers’ Compensation Filing in Granite City IL
If you’ve been injured or developed a serious illness because of your workplace, it’s time to file a workers’ comp claim to ensure you’re being fairly treated and compensated. However, you must follow the correct process to receive benefits. Here are a few tips on the workers’ comp filing process:
- As soon as you notice the injury at work, be sure to let your employer know about the injury. Illinois workers should let employers know of illness or injury within 45 days of the occurrence or within 90 days of exposure to radiation. Missouri workers should make claims within 30 days.
- Following your notification, your employer should speak with their insurance carrier or workers’ comp administrator to notify them that a claim has been filed. They’ll review your claim and decide eligibility for benefits.
- Upon eligibility being decided, your employer should start workers’ comp payments. However, if they decide to deny the claim, they must provide, in writing, their reasoning for denial.
- Following claim denial, we file for a hearing with the workers’ compensation commission, who will ultimately decide eligibility for benefits.
