Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois

What was the cause of the car wreck?

What did the vehicle you were driving make contact with?

If this car accident happened while you were working at the car wash, you are certainly able to file a workers' compensation claim for your injuries. You would be entitled to see the employer's doctor and/or any doctor of your choice AND whomever the doctor refers you to. Any new physician need to be within the chain of referrals in order for workers' compensation to pay for them. You are also entitled to payment of 2/3 of your average weekly wage if the doctor says you cannot work and you are off work for more than 3 days. Finally, you are entitled to a settlement for the permanency of your injury once you have finished all medical treatment and it is determined what your diagnosis and outcome might be.

I'm happy to help you through this case - see that you get the medical care you need and ultimately settle the claim. My office is located in south Naperville so I am should be fairly close to you.
