What Benefits Can You Receive?

Under Illinois workers’ compensation law (820 ILCS 305/1), injured workers are entitled to a wide range of protections and financial support. 

Benefits may include:

  • Medical treatment — doctor visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescription medications, medical devices, and hospital care.
  • Temporary Total Disability (TTD) — wage replacement while you are unable to work during recovery.
  • Permanent disability compensation — financial support if your injury results in long-term or lifelong limitations.
  • Partial disability benefits — coverage if you can return to work but only in a reduced or limited capacity.
  • Vocational retraining — assistance if you cannot return to your old job and need training for a new career.
  • Travel reimbursement — mileage and transportation costs for medical appointments related to your injury.
  • Ongoing care — including physical therapy, mental health support, and follow-up treatment if required.

Insurance company's goal is to protect their bottom line—not your recovery. We know their tactics, and we’re ready to fight back. 

At Therman Law, we don’t settle for lowball offers. Even if you don’t have personal health insurance, you are still entitled to full employer-paid coverage. By law, your employer and their insurance company cannot force you to pay out of pocket for medical treatment related to your workplace injury. If they try, you have legal options to make them comply. Contact our team today to discuss your case during a free, no-obligation consultation.
