Working from home is now a big part of the American culture, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic.
But even if you do your job from the comforts of your house, apartment or condo, you still get the benefits as if you were in the workplace.
It’s something that Ankin Law knows all about as the State of Illinois’ largest filer of Workers’ Compensation cases in Illinois. When an insurance company tried to test that with one of our clients, we fought back and won.
Attorney Scott Goldstein worked with someone who was injured on a Zoom call when a shelf came off the wall and hit this employee on the head. Despite being on work time, the insurance company was trying to deny coverage since this person wasn’t in the traditional work environment.
But Scott along with his legal team rebuffed their efforts, this client got the benefits for this person who put their trust in us. That included plastic surgery to fix a cut on the head that occurred when the shelf fell.
You can learn more about this situation – along Scott’s explanation on why workers at home are still entitled to protection – in this edition of “Wins For Ankin Law Clients” in the video.
