Understanding the Chicago Workers’ Compensation Court System

If you’ve been injured on the job in Chicago, your case will likely be handled through the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC). The IWCC is responsible for resolving disputes between injured workers and employers/insurers.

Key Courthouses for Workers’ Compensation in Chicago

Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) Chicago Office
Address: 69 W. Washington Street, 8th Floor, Chicago, IL 60602
Located in the heart of the Loop, this is the Commission’s administrative office, where filings are mailed and Commission business is conducted rather than where hearings for Chicago residents are held.

Daley Center (Richard J. Daley Center)
Address: 50 W. Washington Street, Chicago, IL 60602
Although primarily a civil courthouse, the Daley Center is also where the IWCC holds its Chicago arbitration hearings, in the lower-level hearing rooms, in addition to hosting judicial review of Commission decisions.

What to Expect

Hearings at the IWCC are overseen by arbitrators, not traditional judges.
Injured workers must file a Form IC01 – Application for Adjustment of Claim within three years of the injury or two years from the last payment of compensation, whichever is later.

Arbitrators conduct hearings and issue decisions; appeals can move to a panel of commissioners and, if needed, to the Circuit Court of Cook County for judicial review.

Having an experienced Chicago workers’ compensation lawyer like Kevin A. Moore can ensure your claim is filed correctly and represented effectively at every level of review.

Which Hearing Site Will Handle Your Case

The IWCC does not assign cases by where you live. It assigns them by where the accident happened, using a published table that matches every town in Illinois to a hearing site. Chicago accidents are set in Chicago. An accident outside Illinois is assigned to the site nearest your home instead.

One practical note: do not mail documents to a hearing site. Filings go to the Commission’s administrative address. Hearing dates can also shift when a site’s availability changes, so confirm your call sheet before you travel downtown.
