What Is the Employer’s Responsibility When a Worker Is Injured?

Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment for their employees. In Illinois, employers with at least one worker are generally required to retain workers’ compensation insurance, with limited exceptions.

When a worker is injured on the job, the employer’s responsibility includes promptly reporting the injury to the workers’ compensation insurance carrier, providing access to necessary medical treatment and facilitating the employee’s return to work when medically feasible.

What Is an Example of a Work-Related Injury?

Work-related injuries can include a wide range of incidents that occur in the workplace or during employment. One example is a slip-and-fall accident resulting in a broken bone while performing job duties. Additionally, repetitive stress injuries from tasks like typing or lifting heavy objects can also qualify as work-related injuries that may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
