Yes. Illinois Workers’ Compensation law provides that you are entitled to receive reasonable vocational rehabilitation following your work related injury. The law also allows you to receive weekly maintenance benefits while you are being retrained. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help you obtain this as part of your settlement or prosecute a claim for vocational rehabilitation.
