    Question:

    Can I Be Fired if I File a Workers’ Comp Claim?

    video featuring workers' compensation attorney Phil Turcy

    Answer:

    We were on the phone a little while ago talking to a gentleman from Naperville, Illinois, who injured himself on the job. He sustained a rotator cuff tear. He was deathly afraid that he was going to lose his job if he filed a claim. He didn’t know what to do. His shoulder was killing him. He’d been prescribed surgery, but he was scared. He thought that he might be fired. He thought that he might possibly lose access to his health insurance benefits. We can tell you this; it is illegal in Illinois to terminate anybody for filing a workers’ compensation claim. It is illegal in Illinois for anybody to abrogate your access to your insurance benefits. The penalties in Illinois for anything like that are much more severe than paying a workers’ comp claim. You should not be afraid of it, but if you have concerns and you want to discuss it with somebody, please give us a call and we can help you.
