Rockford Work Injury
Rockford Work Injury & Rockford Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Although most work places try to create a safe work environment for all of their employees, it’s inevitable that accidents happen. If you’ve fallen victim to a workplace accident you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. Under workers’ compensation laws you have rights such as receiving medical attention, paid time off of work while you recover from your injury, and more. This applies to most Rockford work injury cases. If you don’t know if your injury qualifies, our Rockford work injury attorneys can help, by giving you a free case assessment. At the Illinois Hammer Injury Law firm our Rockford work injury attorneys will also help you assess what benefits you are entitled to.
What Are My Workers’ Compensation Rights?
Illinois law requires employers to have workers’ compensation insurance in case of a workplace accident. Workers’ compensation is insurance for the company so they can help cover medical bills, paying the injured person while off of work, and other costs incurred by the injured employee. For accidents that are more severe workers’ compensation may also cover training for a new job. This is all covered for most Rockford work injury cases.
What Should I Do After a Rockford Work Injury?
First, seeking medical attention is the utmost priority. This will allow a medical professional to diagnose any serious injuries that may have occurred due to the work injury. You more than likely need to file a claim with your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company, and while this sounds confusing, our Rockford work injury attorneys at the Illinois Hammer Injury Law Firm can help you with this process.
Many confuse the need for representation after a work injury because they believe they are suing their company. It is not your company that is responsible for compensation after an injury, but your company’s workers’ compensation insurance company. They are the responsible party that tries to pay you less than you deserve after an injury by making it seem like your injuries are minimal. At times they might even deny your claim. They are trying to save their company money, and don’t care about you. The Illinois Hammer Injury Law Firm is on your side, and will hammer the insurance company to get you the money you deserve expediently.
