“lost time” benefits when an employee suffers a work-related injury.
The simple answer: immediately! The sooner, the better. Most employees do not realize
that the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act requires an injured worker to report their injury
within 45 days from the accident date or the “manifestation” date for repetitive trauma injuries,
like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Injured workers filing a workers' compensation claim should avoid revealing personal financial information, agreeing to be recorded, and signing documents. Instead, they should stick to the basic facts surrounding the accident or injury.
In the United States, the average lawsuit for nursing home abuse settles out of court for approximately $406,000, but a successful court trial can have even a higher payout.
