Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

I was recently injured at work. I injured my back due to lifting boxes all day in a warehouse. I work for a temp agency and not for the company I was injured. I informed the supervisor for the temp agency of my injury and filled out an accident report. Then proceeded to go to the emergency room on my own.

I asked an employee with the company, not the temp agency, about getting me a weight lifting belt a month prior to this injury as I am constantly lifting boxes all day, 6 days a week. I feel as though this injury could have been avoided had I been given the proper PPE.

Now I am laid up and on pain pills due to this injury. I was wondering if I may have a legal case? If so who would it be against the temp agency, the company or both?

You certainly could have a case against both but typically the temp agency has the work comp insurance and therefore the case would be filed with them. I would be happy to help you out if you'd like to give me a call. Good luck
