To be eligible for workers' compensation benefits, your injury must be work related. Many situations that seem to not be work related are often still covered, your Illinois Work Injury Attorney can help determine if you have a claim.
Here are a few types of scenarios that are work related:
-Injured while doing something for the benefit of your employer
-Injured while on the company's premise (ex. sprained ankle due to a fall in the cafeteria)
-Injuries at company events (ex. strained neck due to a fall at a fundraiser)
-Car accident while commuting in a company car; accident while driving your own car to meet a client
-Injuries as a result of not following safety rules at work are often still covered
-Mental conditions as a result of witnessing a trauma at work or due to a stressful environment
If you think you fit into one of these categories or are uncertain if you have a claim, contact your Illinois Work Injury Attorney.
