Yes, you should be protected. I have a similar case right now for a CPS teacher. I’m happy to talk to you about it. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

Yes, this is a matter you should discuss with an experienced Northern Illinois workers' compensation attorney. While it sounds like it has been reported, if by any chance it has not or the school has not made a record, you should briefly address that. Otherwise, in the interim between now and the hiring of an attorney, do not discuss the claim in detail with the adjuster or school officials. Continue to keep your medical appoints and follow advised treatment.
