Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces in the country, where accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. But the reality is that employers and insurance companies often pull every trick in the book to avoid the responsibility of taking care of their injured workers. At Illinois Workers’ Comp, our mission is to help you navigate the complexities of workers’ compensation and fight for the compensation you’re entitled to.
Our Carol Stream, Illinois Construction Worker Injuries Services
Construction accidents are often severe, leaving workers with long-term health issues, disabilities, or the inability to return to their previous jobs.
Some of the most common construction site injuries in Illinois include:
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Falls from heights
- Falling objects
- Heavy machinery accidents
- Electrocutions
While workers’ compensation is designed to protect injured workers from these types of accidents, insurance companies and employers may attempt to minimize or even deny your claim, making it harder for you to get the medical treatment and financial support you need.
That’s where we come in. At Illinois Workers’ Comp Lawyers, we have years of experience standing up to insurance companies and ensuring that injured construction workers get the maximum compensation possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a construction site injury?
The first thing you should do is to seek medical attention. Then, report the injury to your employer, document the scene if possible, and contact a workers’ compensation lawyer to begin your claim.
What types of compensation can I receive for my injury in Illinois?
Injured construction workers in Illinois are typically compensated for medical bills, lost wages, disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation. In addition, you may also be entitled to compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.
Do I need a lawyer to file a workers' compensation claim?
While not technically required, filing a workers’ compensation claim without a lawyer can be difficult and result in minimized benefits. Having a lawyer helps ensure you file the claim correctly and maximize your compensation, especially if your claim is disputed.
What if my workers' compensation claim is denied?
Sometimes, insurance companies deny payment of damages for your injuries altogether. If your claim is denied, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you appeal the decision and fight for the benefits you deserve, taking your employer and the insurance company to court if needed.
How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim?
In Illinois, you generally have 45 days from the date of your injury to notify your employer, but it’s best to act as quickly as possible.
