Chicago, IL asked in Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation for Illinois

Q: Are appointments required to be after hours of work or are they to be during hours of work if injury was at work?

In regards to a workplace injury, is there anything cited that doctor visits, MRI appointments, physical therapy, etc with a workers' compensation case that places a work on "light duty". What Illinois or Federal mandate states this information?

A: You would want to get a free consult from a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Assn but generally they don't have to limit exams to work hours.
