Injured in the Workplace? We Can Help With Your Injury Rating — Our Experienced Belleville Workers Compensation Attorney will help you Pursue the Compensation you Deserve.
Serious injuries occur in workplaces all across the country, each and every day. These accidents have the potential to put an individual out of work for weeks, months, or years (even indefinitely). So what happens when an injured victim needs to return to work and they’re unable to? They begin filing an insurance claim.
Fortunately, ALL businesses in Illinois that employ people must have workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. The next step is getting the insurance company and your employer to agree with your claim.
It’s quite common for an employer or the insurance company to dispute a claim. There’s often difficulty determining the severity of the injury or the individual’s ability to return to work. An individual may state they are unable to return to their previous job duties; meanwhile, their employer claims that they can still work and does not qualify for any sort of disability benefits.
This is where the injury rating scale becomes very important. This will provide the factual documentation of your injuries you need to support your claim. A physician can produce a workers’ compensation disability rating for you. This rating will only be assigned once the physician has determined that the employee has reached the “maximum medical improvement,” meaning their condition isn’t likely to improve much more than it already has. If their complete functional ability hasn’t been restored to normal at this time, the physician will designate a disability rating.

FAQ
If you’ve been injured in the workplace, there are disability benefits in place to provide relief for workers while they recover. Depending on the severity of the injury and the benefits you are eligible for, some benefits can cover you for a few weeks of missing work or the rest of your life (permanent disability).
Technically yes. Illinois is considered an “at-will” work state. Meaning as long as it does not violate the law, an employer can fire someone for just about any reason. That being said, an employer CANNOT terminate a worker because they are filing a workers’ comp claim or because they are currently receiving benefits.
If you’re receiving workers’ comp benefits and your employment is terminated or you’ve been laid off, you will typically still continue to receive benefits. Until your doctor approves your return to work, you’ll continue to receive compensation for the injuries that were sustained in your previous employment.
