INJURED WHILE
WORKING?
HERE ARE THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW.
Every State in
the United States has provided protection for
employees who received an injury arising out of
and in the course of their employment .
It's called,
"WORKERS'
COMPENSATION".
If
you, a member of your family or a friend have
been injured while employed, you may well have a
claim for Workers' Compensation.
A job related
injury claim frequently involves a substantial amount
of money, possibly in the hundreds of thousands
or even millions of dollars!
Can you be
fired for making a
WORKERS'
COMPENSATION Claim?
Every injured
employee has a right to file a
WORKERS'
COMPENSATION
Claim in Illinois.
|
In Illinois, the law prohibits the
employer from discharging an employee as a
result of filing such a claim (Retaliatory
Discharge).
In Illinois, firing an
employee because of the filing of a Workers;
Compensation, subject the employer to substantial damages
to be paid to
the fired employee.
Therefore, filing
a WORKERS' COMPENSATION Claim may actually provide
more job
security than not filing the claim.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS.
When you are injured
while working, you probably have a claim
for Workers' Compensation.
In order to protect you,
your
employer,
ordinarily, has purchased Insurance to cover any
employees that have been injured on the job.
The Insurance Company has a staff of
Insurance Adjusters who are trained
to handle claims representing the
interests of the Insurance Company.
You will be dealing with one or more
of these
Insurance Adjusters.
Insurance Adjusters are trained
to attempt to avoid
or minimize any payment to the injured party.

|
Remember, if the adjuster can avoid
paying your claim, or pay you far
less than you are entitled, the
Insurance Company makes more money.
