Workers’ Compensation Laws: Explained

Don’t be worried if you’re having trouble understanding workers’ compensation. Workers’ comp can be difficult, but basically, it’s insurance for workers and employers to ensure that everyone is covered in case of a workplace injury or serious illness caused by the workplace. If you’re hurt and can’t work, workers’ comp payments help pay medical bills, buy groceries, pay utilities, and more. The severity of your injury will determine the benefits you receive by placing you in a benefits category. These categories include temporary partial disabilities, temporary total disabilities, permanent partial disabilities, permanent total disabilities.

Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim in O’Fallon IL

If you get injured at work, money won’t just start falling from the sky. You have to follow the correct procedures and fill out the proper paperwork to ensure the payments that you deserve. Brunton understands the process and can walk you through it from start to finish. Here are a few things to consider throughout the process:

The first step is notifying the employer that you’ve sustained an injury or illness due to your job. In the State of Illinois, workers should notify their employers within 45 days of any injury and within 90 days of any exposure to radiation. In Missouri, the time limit is 30 days for injuries.
Next, it’s the employer’s turn to notify, either, the workers’ comp administrator or their insurance carrier. They will ultimately decide the fate of your claim.
Once they’ve reviewed the claim, it will be accepted or denied. If accepted, payments will start based on your benefit category. If denied, the employer must provide a written explanation for denial of the claim.
After any denial, we file a hearing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission to prove the validity of your injuries.
