Please join Allison Schaeffer of IFMK Law, Ltd. for this two-part workers’ compensation presentation on the topics of Slip and Falls and Lost Time Benefits:

Slip and Falls

Slip and falls are one of the leading causes of workers’ compensation claims across industries. In this presentation, we will discuss how to determine compensability of a slip and fall under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act. We will discuss four different case scenarios to illustrate how the law is applied in various real-life situations.

Lost Time Benefits:  Where Does Your Claim Fit?

Whether lost time benefits must be paid is one of the most frequently asked questions we get as defense counsel for workers’ compensation claims at IFMK Law, Ltd. This has been an especially hotly contested issue since the Interstate Scaffolding decision was decided by the Illinois Supreme Court in 2010. In this presentation, we will examine the current status of the law regarding payment of temporary total disability (TTD) and temporary partial disability (TPD) benefits, and discuss common situations that arise involving payment of TTD/TPD and how to handle those situations from a defense standpoint.
