If you are injured on the job, Illinois provides the opportunity for you to obtain compensation through the Workers' Compensation Act. The law in Illinois requires all employers to have workers' compensation insurance. With very few exceptions, people working in all walks of life, in every type of occupation or setting, are covered by the Workers' Compensation Act.

Workers' compensation is a no-fault system. Regardless of whether you are to blame or whether your employer is to blame for the accident, if you were hurt on the job, you are entitled to the benefits available under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act.

However, if your accident was partly caused by someone else besides your employer, you may be able to file a lawsuit to claim compensation from that person.
