According to the National Safety Council a worker is injured on the job every 7 seconds.  In 2017 Illinois reported  108,200 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses and 163 fatal occupational injuries.   A workplace injuries in Illinois covered by Workers’ Compensation include aggravations of pre-existing conditions, broken bones, sprains, occupational illnesses, repetitive trauma injuries, hearing loss, and more.

Most mental stress cases are not covered under the Illinois Workers’ Comp Act unless there has been an event that was “severe, sudden, and shocking.”  Claims made for this type of work-related issue are much harder to prove.  Do not, however, assume that you do not have a valid workers’ compensation claim.  It is important with this and any work related injury to consult with a mental health professional for a diagnosis.  After you have met with a mental health professional, contact a workmens’ compensation attorney for a free case evaluation.  Attorney Tim Henderson is an experienced Workmens’ Compensation Attorney and he will be able to determine if you have a valid workers’ compensation claim.

Regardless of the type of workplace injury, it is important to report the injury to the supervisor in charge as soon as possible.  This notification can be done verbally or in written form but written notification helps establish the date of the injury.

Seek medical attention for the injury.  When you seek medical help be sure to inform the physician that your injury was work related.  Some injuries may not be immediately evident after an accident on the job (e.g. internal bleeding) and medical attention will help identify issues that are both obvious and not immediately apparent.

Remember – You pay nothing unless we win your case!

Illinois’s Durable Power of Attorney law provides for two types of “statutory powers”: health care and property. This law also provides for the appointment of an “agent” and a “successor agent”.

This agent would be able to use his/her “health care power” to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become unable to make these decisions.

A “property power” will allow the “agent” to act in your behalf in whatever areas you have chosen if you become unable to make these decisions.

While forms to grant “power of attorney” are available online, it is always a good idea to consult an attorney to make sure that points important to you and your situation are covered. I can work with you to make sure these powerful advance directives deal with the financial and personal issues you want to manage.
