If you are suffering from a work accident, you may be hesitant to file for workers' comp because you are afraid to accuse your employer of negligence. This is a common misconception. Workers' compensation operates on a no-fault basis, meaning that filing a workers' compensation claim does not require you to show that your employer did something wrong.
Your Right to File, and How to File
The Peoria workers' compensation lawyers at Hanna & Hanna, P.C., will work to help you obtain the compensation you need to recover from your injury. Our partners have more than 40 years of combined workers' compensation law experience.
The workers' compensation system is designed to provide workers with a fixed monetary award, but there are specific procedural requirements. Our knowledgeable attorneys can make the difference between having a denied claim and no benefits and getting the full benefits you deserve. We can also help you apply for temporary total disability benefits or permanent total disability benefits.
