From Attorney Michael Lebovitz

The Illinois Workers Compensation Act was passed about 100
years ago to help people that work as employees for employers in
private industry who are injured on the job.

Most common are construction related accidents
(to the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers,
upper and lower backs, legs, feet and toes)
but, people who work in offices are
exposed to work hazzards as well,
ie. carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome
that comes from repetative motions such as typing.

All are entitled to medical benefits and payment for
lost time as authorized by a physician.
In addition, many accidents result in some form of
residual disability that warrants additional compensation
(usually paid in a lump sum settlement).
