The Illinois Workmen’s Compensation Act is designed to protect injured workers, paying benefits which include lost wages, payment for medical bills as well as other benefits which sometimes can include vocational rehabilitation and retraining.

An injured worker should promptly file a written report of the accident with their employer and then contact an experienced attorney who can then promptly file an Application for Adjustment of Claim at the Illinois Industrial Commission. A 19(b) Petition can be filed on an emergency basis to collect lost wages if such are not being paid by the employer.
