Most employees in Illinois are covered by workers’ compensation, regardless of fault. Eligibility generally applies when an injury arises out of and in the course of employment.
Even injuries that worsen pre existing conditions may still qualify for benefits.
Medical benefits are a critical part of workers’ compensation. These benefits cover reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to your work injury.
