Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois

Re: workman's compensation

There is no recovery in worker's compensatin for "pain and suffering". But, you may be entitled to a settlement or payment based upon any permanent partial disability you have sustained. It is crucial that you have a claim properly filed and prosecuted in order for you to obtain the compensation that you are entitled to under the law. Please be sure to consult with an attorney without delay. If you do not know an attorney, please feel free to call me and I will be happy to referyou to one.

Re: workman's compensation

Dear Sirs:

Typically the statute for filing a workmen's compensation case is three (3) years from the date of accident under Illinois law, although there are some exceptions to this.

Please call us should you wish to discuss your case with an experienced attorney.

Many thanks,

Re: workman's compensation

You have three years to make a claim for worker's compensation. However, that will not include any pain & suffering. The only items of damages allowed in a WC claim are medical bills, wage loss, total temporary disability and some other items.

For pain & suffering you may have a third party claim--and the statute of such a claim is typically 2 years.

I will need a lot more information to be able to give you a more complete answer.

I hope this helps,
