If you are injured while at work, regardless of whose fault it is, you may have a right to compensation. Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides compensation to employees who suffer job related injuries. Common job related injuries include herniated disc, carpal tunnel and other strains.
Herniated discs can be caused by repeated stress, lifting and violent twisting. Carpal tunnel is frequently caused by repeated use of the wrist and can result in pain and weakness in the hand.
If anything at work has caused you injury or illness then you may be qualified for some type of compensation. Contact your Illinois Work Injury Attorney to find out what options you have.
