Contact an attorney they cant fire you for being on or filing a Workman's Comp claim in Illinois.
In Illinois this a tort claim where an employee has been terminated for refusing to commit an unlawful act or for performing some act which is protected by statute or by public policy. In Illinois statutory law such as the Workers’ Compensation Act,falls under the public policy exception to the "at-will presumption.
