Workers’ Compensation

The Office of Claims Management is responsible for investigation and management of workers’ compensation claims for all University of Illinois employees who are injured on the job, regardless of location and includes employees of statewide Cooperative Extension Service, Rockford and Peoria regional campuses of the College of Medicine, and those on the payroll of the University of Illinois working at remote locations.

If an on-the-job injury requires medical care, an employee should promptly seek medical assistance at the University of Illinois Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, 1740 W. Taylor Street, Chicago or call 312-996-7296.

An employee who is injured on the job must inform the employer promptly. See the Reporting section of the Workers’ Compensation website for further information.

Claims filed by employees of the University of Illinois will be adjusted according to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.
