Question Number One

I was employed less than a week before I was injured.  May I recover?

Yes. Employees are covered under the Illinois WorkersÂ’ Compensation Act from the very moment they begin their employment. So, even if you are injured within a few minutes of commencing your employment, you may be able to recover for your work related injuries.
