Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois
I was hurt at work on october 15th, 2011 around 5:00 am in the morning I got hit in the head with a printer in a box. I work in a warehouse and a unloader was on a ladder taking the printers down and I was bent down putting stickers on a pallet when I was struck in the head with a printer. My head was hurting a bit but not that bad when I reported it to my supervisor. I then went home and while at home my head was hurting later that day. I went back to work around 6:00 pm and was doing my work when my head just started hurting really bad. I informed my boss again and was sent to the emergency room. There the doctor did a cat scan and it was not a concussion; it was a contusion and a neck injury, I was prescribed some pain pills and sent home. My head has been hurting ever since and when cold air hits it then it really hurts even when I'm sitting down and not doing anything it still bothers me. I guess my question is what do I need to do because I still have to work.

You need to go to a doctor and find out why your head still hurts.
Then you need to speak with an attorney to make sure that a claim for worker's compensation is made so that your interests are properly protected.
You may call my office if you need help in that.
Seek medical attention.
Then contact an attorney about filing a worker's compensation claim.
