In Illinois, if you're unable to work due to a disability, you're covered by state and federal laws that provide short-term disability benefits and ensure fair workplace treatment. Short-term disability lasts from a few weeks to a year, offering financial support and job protections during temporary health setbacks. Qualifying as disabled requires meeting ADA criteria, with some cases needing SSA confirmation.

Although we often discuss expected results and costs, our attorneys do not give legal advice unless and until you choose to retain us.
