Your Workers Compensation Lawyer in Decatur, Springfield, Quincy, and Jacksonville
Representing injured workers throughout Illinois

Your rights as an injured worker are established by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. The Decatur workers comp lawyers at John V. Boshardy & Associates, P.C. put their skill and experience to work for you to obtain the maximum benefits available under this law.
You are entitled to temporary disability payments and medical treatment to help you recover from your injury
When you are injured at work, your physical condition often prevents you from working. You are entitled to receive 100% payment of your medical treatment that you require to recover from your injuries. Workers compensation insurance companies routinely deny medical care, or authorization for medical care, prolonging your disability. The lawyers at John V. Boshardy & Associates, P.C. aggressively fight to secure the medical treatment recommended by your doctors.
You are entitled to receive temporary total disability benefits while you are recovering from your injury. By law, your employer must pay you two-thirds of your wages while you are disabled. These benefits are not taxed. However, these benefits are often wrongly denied by workers compensation insurance companies.
Workers' compensation insurance companies routinely fail to pay these benefits on time—or at all. Workers compensation insurance companies know that you need the money, and they withhold these payments to further weaken you and your family's ability to survive in this difficult time. You do not have to be completely disabled to receive TTD payments. If you are placed on light duty by your doctor as a result of your work injury, and the employer cannot provide or refuses to provide light duty work, you are entitled to claim TTD payments.
You need a skilled workers comp attorney on your side to fight for you. John V. Boshardy & Associates, P.C. works aggressively with you to ensure that you receive the medical care you need and your disability benefits while you are disabled.
