Workers' Comp Lost Wages Information
If you are on temporary total disability, you are entitled to two-thirds of your average weekly wage. If you are unable to collect the compensation you need from workers' compensation, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim that would allow you to recover for additional losses.
Lost wages are a very serious problem for victims of serious injury as well as families who suffer as a result of wrongful death. While the law in Illinois does not provide for compensation due to time missed for doctor's appointments, you are entitled to the time missed because of the inability to perform your job due to pain from your injury. You are also entitled to compensation for any sick days or vacations days used because of your injuries, even if you were paid for those days. Our attorneys will explore every available avenue of recovery so that you and your family can move forward after an accident.
