If you have been injured at work in Illinois, you need to report the injury
and the approximate date and location where it happened to your employer.
You may submit your report in writing or orally. You must then file your
application with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission. With your
application, you must also file a Proof of Service. A Proof of Service
states that you have also served your employer with a copy of your application.
To get help and guidance when reporting and
filing your workers’ compensation claim, call McHargue & Jones, LLC at (312) 487-2461.
