Over the course of a human’s life, a person’s body naturally breaks down with age.  Hard labor jobs can increase the natural aging process.  You can get money for a degenerative disease under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act when the abnormal degeneration is aggravated by your work duties. 
 
These types of injures commonly occur in combination with complex muscle, joint, bone, and repetitive stress injuries.  Often, a painful knee on the job after years in heavy labor could be a sign of a degenerative diseases that may entitle you to money under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.  You may also be able to get money for your injury when you have lingering back pain that increases over time.  However, if you have any sort of lingering pain that increases over time, this may be a sign of a degenerative disease that was aggravated by your work.  If you  believe that you have a degenerative disease that is made worse by your work, or if you just want to talk to an attorney about your aches and pains on the job, contact the Law Office of Franklin J.
