Injured on the job in the Illinois Quad Cities? Our team helps workers secure medical care, lost wages, and disability benefits through Illinois’ no-fault workers’ compensation system—serving Moline, Rock Island, and beyond.
Whether you're hurt in a factory in Moline, on a construction site in Rock Island, or during delivery work in Silvis, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim under Illinois law. Employers are legally required to carry workers’ comp insurance, and failing to comply can carry serious penalties.
You don’t need to prove your employer was negligent. If your injury happened at work or during job duties, you’re eligible for compensation. This includes slip-and-fall injuries, repetitive stress damage, machine accidents, and more.
Illinois law ensures that your necessary medical treatment is paid in full and that you receive wage replacement if you're unable to work due to injury. Don’t let paperwork delays or insurer tactics block your recovery.
Illinois workers’ compensation laws are designed to help employees who are injured or become ill due to work-related duties—without the need to prove fault. If you live or work in the Illinois Quad Cities—such as Rock Island, Moline, or East Moline—you’re covered by state protections that guarantee timely medical treatment, partial wage replacement, and compensation for permanent disability.
Illinois also provides workers the right to choose their own doctor (in most cases) and protects against employer retaliation for filing a claim.
In the industrial and commercial heart of the Illinois Quad Cities, work injuries can happen anywhere—from warehouses in East Moline to construction zones in Rock Island or retail jobs in downtown Moline. If you’re hurt on the job, Illinois law entitles you to workers’ compensation benefits—regardless of who caused the accident. This no-fault system ensures you can focus on healing without needing to prove fault or face legal retaliation from your employer.
Illinois workers’ compensation laws provide strong protection for injured employees. You’re entitled to receive full coverage for medical treatment, temporary or permanent disability payments, and compensation for lost wages while you’re unable to work. If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job, vocational retraining or wage differential benefits may also be available. In fatal cases, surviving family members may receive death benefits.
The region’s economy is driven by logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and service jobs—sectors with high injury rates. We commonly assist workers with back injuries, shoulder and knee trauma, carpal tunnel syndrome, falls, crush injuries, machine accidents, repetitive stress injuries, and occupational illnesses. Whether you were injured at a John Deere plant, in a hospital, or at a small business in Rock Island County, our attorneys are prepared to help.

You can appeal through the IWCC. Having an attorney local to the Rock Island/Moline area ensures timely filing and professional representation throughout the hearing process.
Yes. Illinois follows a “two-doctor rule,” which generally allows you to select up to two physicians and any referrals from them for treatment.
