With decades of experience in helping those who’ve been hurt at work in the State of Illinois, there is no one better to answer one of the simplest questions about workers’ compensation.
How long do you have to file a claim if you’ve been injured on the job in the state? Attorney Howard Ankin, who has been helping workers in Illinois for 30 years, has the answer.
“If you have a workers compensation case in the State of Illinois, you have three years from the time of your accident, or two years from when you last received benefits in order to follow your claim,” said Howard when asked about the time frame.
At the same time, there are some exceptions to this rule, so someone who has been injured on the job should reach out to a lawyer to find out their options. Ankin Law is certainly capable of handling that since the firm is the largest filer of workers’ compensation cases in the State of Illinois.
