Employees are entitled to a safe workplace environment and if they suffer injuries while performing their job duties, they may be eligible to receive workers' compensation.

In Illinois, all employees must have workers' compensation insurance to cover injured employees. A workers' compensation claim is a request for benefits and not a lawsuit against a company. It is a way to ensure a worker receives a fixed monetary reward if they are injured as a result of their job.

In construction accidents, there may be additional claims a worker can make to be compensated for their injuries.
