Workmens Compensation Law
Illinois Workers Compensation is a benefit program that pays a worker for injuries or death that are work related. Illinois workers cannot 'sue' their employer for a work related injury; rather, they can bring a workers compensation claim.

The program sets fixed amounts for injuries in order to avoid costly litigation and to streamline the process. Workers are also entitled to a percentage of his or her lost wages until they are able to return to work.

Common workplace injuries include: herniated disks and spinal injuries, broken bones, repetitive trauma, carpal tunnel syndrome, burns and head trauma. Morevoer, other injuries that are found to be 'work related' would also entitle the worker to compensation.
