After a workplace injury, such as a back injury, there are several important steps you can and should take to protect your health and your workers’ compensation claim. But there are also a number of things you shouldn’t do; accidental or intentional acts or statements that could threaten your workers’ compensation benefits and cause legal issues.

If you have suffered a work injury, keep these important “don’t’s” in mind:

1. DON’T let your employer talk you out of filing a claim. Illinois law prohibits your employer from discharging, threatening to discharge, or otherwise retaliating against you for pursuing your workers’ compensation benefits. Employers who do so are subject to significant penalties, as well as potential claims for damages by the injured worker or injured parties.
2. DON’T give your employer, its insurer, or insurance company any recorded statements without first consulting with a Round Lake workers’ compensation lawyer. Just like what you say to the police after they arrest you “can and will be used against you,” your employer could try to use your statements to deny your claim.
3. DON’T post pictures or comments about your injuries or accident on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
4. DON’T sign any release, accept a check containing release language or sign any other document that purports to resolve or settle your claim without speaking with an injury attorney first.

Hiring injury attorneys ensure that your rights as an injured party are protected.
