In this episode of Learn About Law, we explain Illinois workers' compensation law. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act (820 ILCS 305, et al.) provides relief to employees who are injured in the course of their work. Injured employees can file a claim with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (“IWCC”), which is the organization in charge of overseeing all workers’ compensation claims. Benefits received through a workers’ compensation claim are a portion of the employees’ wages for the period they’re off work due to the injuries.
