Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the total permanent disability payout?

In Illinois, permanent total disability benefits are generally based on two-thirds of the worker’s average weekly wage, subject to state minimums and maximums. Benefits may continue for life when a worker is permanently unable to perform any gainful employment. Some cases resolve through negotiated lump-sum settlements, but the value depends on wages, medical evidence, work restrictions, age, and disputed issues.
