Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois

Re: Workers' compensation question

The answer to your question may depend upon various factors which were not mentioned in your post. Obviously, your husband should have an attorney representing him on hte worker's compensation claim, and that attorney may also be able o help with the suspension issue. If you do not already have an attorney, and if you are located in the central to southern part of the stae, I believe that I could refer you to an excellent attorney. Feel free to call, and good luck to you and your husband.

Re: Workers' compensation question

Dear Sirs:

Your husband has a workmen's compensation case for his injuries. With regard to the suspension, please call so that we may discuss.

Many thanks,

Re: Workers' compensation question

Since no one has bothered to actually answer the question, I will try to help.

The answer is no.

That is not allowed.

If you husband was injured at work he cannot be fired or suspended in retaliation for seeking benefits under the Act.

He can still be fired, but the employer must need a real reason to fire him.

The fact that the boss "thinks he's faking" does not sound like a good faith neutral basis for disciplinary action against your husband.

You should probably start to seek out a lawyer to help with your case.

Good luck and let me know if you need more help.

Re: Workers' compensation question

What attorney Belcher said is correct and is a sound advice. Just delete the other responses specially the patently non-answer advertisement one.

You should seek an attorney as soon as possible so that your husband may be compensated for his loss.

I hope this helps,
