Illinois workers’ compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees injured on the job receive medical care, wage-loss benefits (usually two-thirds of the employee’s weekly pay), and rehabilitation services.
A workplace accident is an unexpected event that happens while performing job duties and results in injury or illness. To qualify under Illinois workers’ compensation, the accident must “arise out of” and “in the course of” employment.
You can receive workers’ compensation in Illinois even if another employee caused your accident. Illinois has a no-fault system meaning, you don’t need to prove negligence to get medical care and wage replacement. You usually cannot sue a co-worker unless the injury was caused by an intentional act.
