Description: Domenic Maciariello explains that you can file for workers’ compensation benefits even if you no longer work at that employer—as long as your accident occurred while you were employed there, was properly documented, and you sought prompt medical care.

Video Transcript:

In Illinois, you can be on workers’ compensation indefinitely. So long as your treatment is related to the initial injury and that you’re off work by a doctor. In my own personal experience, I’ve had one person collect workers’ compensation benefits for more than 17 years on a case that lasted 20 years.
