Hardworking Illinois residents take pride in their jobs. Most employers value their workers and prioritize safety on the job site. Unfortunately, accidents can happen anywhere. Accidents at work may result in serious injuries to employees. In some instances, an employee may develop an occupational disease resulting from working conditions. Like other states, Illinois has a workers’ compensation system, which allows employees who are hurt on the job, or who develop a workplace-related illness, to receive payments for medical expenses, rehabilitation, or disability. Managing the claims process or resolving disputes with an employer can become complicated. Damon Young is a Peoria workers’ compensation lawyer assisting those hurt during their employment. He provides hands-on, personalized service to his clients and is ready to assist you. If you have been injured or become sick from working conditions, contact us today to speak with an attorney. We also serve clients in Bloomington and other areas of Central Illinois.
