About Workers' Compensation Claims

Workers' compensation claims are requests filed by employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses, seeking financial and medical benefits. These claims are part of a government-mandated insurance program that provides support without the need for the employee to sue their employer. Benefits can include coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, and disability payments. Employers are required to carry workers compensation insurance to protect both themselves and their workers. The process typically involves notifying the employer, submitting documentation, and possibly undergoing medical evaluations to determine the extent of the injury.

​

In 2023, Illinois private industry employers reported 101,400 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses, resulting in a total recordable cases (TRC) incidence rate of 2.4 cases per 100 full-time equivalent workers. This matches the national rate. Approximately 200,000 work-related accidents occur annually in Illinois, but fewer than 40,000 claims are filed with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
