Claims Against Negligent Parties
Regardless how or why workplace accidents happen — if you have sustained an on the job injury and are unable to return to your job for more than three working days, you are entitled to have a portion of your lost wages paid for by your employer or their workers’ compensation insurance carrier. You are also entitled to have all medical expenses related to your work injury paid under workers’ compensation. Generally, under Illinois workers’ compensation law, you cannot sue your employer for injuries you sustained on the job. Usually, the only remedy available to an injured employee is workers’ compensation benefits.
However, if you were injured in an accident that was caused by a defective product or by someone other than a co-worker or your employer — you may be able to recover more than just workers’ compensation benefits by filing a personal injury claim against the person(s) or business(es) responsible.
