If you’ve been injured in an industrial accident in Chicago, we know life feels anything but normal right now. You’re not just dealing with physical pain—you’re juggling the stress of wondering how to support yourself and your family when you can’t afford to be off work for long. It’s overwhelming, and it’s unfair. You deserve the space to focus on your recovery—not to be consumed by stress about rushing back to work before you’re ready. That’s where we come in. At Saks, Robinson & Rittenberg, Ltd., our industrial accident injury lawyers in Chicago are here to fight for the compensation you need to catch your breath, heal properly, and rebuild your life. You don’t have to do this alone—we’re here to help.
Returning to work too soon can do more harm than good. Many people, worried about income loss, feel the need to push through the pain and head back to work before they’ve fully recovered. While this may provide temporary relief financially, it can lead to long-term complications. Ignoring your doctor’s recommendations may worsen your injury, result in additional medical expenses, or even create permanent mobility issues that could hinder you for life. It’s critical to prioritize proper healing—not just for your physical well-being but also for your future employability and overall quality of life. Â
There’s no reason to sacrifice your health for your job. Illinois law is designed to protect workers who have suffered on-the-job injuries and ensure that they receive the compensation and support they need to recover. Employers are required to provide Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits, equaling two-thirds of your average weekly wage, for the time you are unable to work due to your injury. Additionally, your employer must cover 100% of your medical expenses and provide compensation for the permanency of your injury.
If permanent restrictions prevent you from returning to your original job, your company’s insurance must offer vocational rehabilitation and compensate you for two-thirds of the difference between your old wage and your new wage until the age of 67 or five years from the date of your accident—whichever is greater. Furthermore, if you’re unable to work again, skilled lawyers can help secure lifelong benefits for you.
Prioritizing your health and recovery is not just your right; it’s protected under Illinois law, and the right industrial accident injury lawyers in Chicago can help you receive the full benefits you need.
