Normally a broken rib will heal up completely without any real residual permanent damage. The Illinois Workers Compensation Commission has usually awards little or no money for a broken rib.
If there are other injuries sustained in the same accident, then an award will usually be made for the other injury involved but not the broken rib.
Seek the advice of an Illinois workers comp attorney for your work injury.
