  • Workers’ Compensation: An Overview

    Workers’ compensation is what helps workers pay their bills when they’re hurt at work. These laws protect the rights of workers and employers to ensure the injured and the ill are fairly compensated for their lost wages. Additionally, these laws only apply to those that have been injured at work or that have developed at serious illness because of the environment at their workplace. Furthermore, the severity of your injury will determine which benefit category that you fall into, which includes temporary partial disability, temporary total disability, permanent total disability and permanent partial disability. The category you fall into will determine options for financial compensation, medical care, and even re-training.

  • Granite City, IL Workers’ Compensation Filing

    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.

  • Please call our office with your questions about the workers’ comp filing process.
