This presentation will provide a practical overview of key issues in Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, focusing on effective file management and case development from intake through hearing preparation. Topics will include identifying compensable versus non-compensable work injuries, recognizing common factual and legal issues, and understanding how causation and employment-related defenses can affect a claim.
Attendees will learn best practices for the intake process, including gathering essential information, obtaining and organizing medical and employment records, identifying red flags, and avoiding common documentation and procedural pitfalls that can negatively impact a case. The presentation will also cover file analysis and investigative techniques used to develop claims, review medical and wage documentation, track deadlines, coordinate evidence, and assist attorneys in preparing cases for hearing before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Practical guidance and real-world examples will be provided throughout the program to help paralegals strengthen case organization, improve efficiency, and better support successful claim handling.
