You have the right to work in a safe and healthful workplace. If, in the course of performing your job, you've suffered a work-related injury, please review your employee benefits information associated with your employer.  It is important for you to know what type and level of coverage of workers' compensation benefits are available to you that you may be eligible for.  Fill out a compensation claim form if you have some copies in your employee benefits handbook and submit it to the human resources personnel or contact your human resources department and ask for a copy of the form.

If you work in Illinois, in the greater Chicago area, or in DuPage County, Will County, Lake County, Kane County, Cook County, McHenry County, or any other county in Illinois, the firm of Zneimer & Zneimer would like to talk to you if you think you are being denied workers compensation benefits.

In some cases, workers' compensation claims that are legitimate may be denied by compensation providers who are aggressive about denying and allowing of claims. An insurer can deny your claim because, in their determination, your injury isn't sufficiently serious enough to warrant a claim or that you are not truly injured at all.  If you think that this is the case, you may be in the position to lose critical benefits, such as financial help to offset lost wages due to the inability to work, health care coverage including longer term physical therapy expenses, as well as job retraining.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in Illinois, the law firm of Zneimer & Zneimer would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you through the process. Call us at 773-516-4100 or contact us online for a FREE consultation.
