It depends -- what type of job did you have and would be covered by workers' compensation? In other words, it wasn't assumption of the risk wherein you wouldn't be covered?
Contact the following immediately to preserve your rights:
1. Illinois Dept of Insurance -Workers Comp Division and scroll to the bottom of this link: http://www.idfpr.com/doi/general/worker_comp.asp
2. www.attorneypages.com and search for a workers' comp plaintiff's attorney. Check his or her record at the Illinois State Bar.
