Workplace Injuries

If you were hurt on the job in Illinois, you are entitled to medical care, lost wages and a settlement for permanent injury — and often a third-party personal-injury claim on top. Marker Law makes sure you get all of it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers to the questions Marker Law clients ask most often about this topic.

You must give your employer notice within 45 days and file the formal claim with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission within three years of the accident (or two years from the last benefit paid).
All reasonable and necessary medical care; temporary total disability checks (about two-thirds of your wage) while you can't work; a permanent partial disability settlement; vocational rehab when needed; and death benefits to your family.
Yes — Illinois law gives you two choices of treating physician, plus referrals from each. The employer's nurse case manager does not control your treatment.
Illinois workers' comp and personal-injury rights apply regardless of immigration status. Marker Law protects clients' confidentiality throughout.
