Worker's Comp Benefits

An injured workers' compensation system provides wage replacement and medical benefits for workers hurt in the course of employment.

Worker's compensation insurance is a cost made to protect employers from the financial risk of paying for any workplace-related injuries or temporary total disability (TTD). Worker's comp insurance is required by legislation in all 50 states, with limited exceptions.

Illinois workers compensation commission is an organization that oversees staff comp, which is mandatory coverage that employers must provide for their employees.

In the past few years, the Illinois workers' compensation commission has been caught in a struggle between policymakers and insurance companies. As a result, the Illinois Worker's Compensation Act was updated on January 1, 2012.

A Chicago doctor providing medical care to many workers must have had an extra dose of knowledge. According to the Chicago Tribune, many workers of ComEd have to deal with several different types of cancer. Therefore, medical care providers need to be knowledgeable enough to care for their patients.

An employer must pay from insurance coverage for medical benefits if a worker sustains a fall contusion at work. However, it is possible to appeal if an insurance company does not pay the benefits because it believes the injured claimant did not receive medical treatment in a reasonable amount of time.
