When an employee is hurt on the job, fast, professional medical care matters — for the worker’s recovery and for the employer’s peace of mind. Immediate Care Center of Westmont provides walk-in work injury and workers’ compensation care for employees and businesses across Westmont, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Darien, and the surrounding DuPage County communities. With on-site X-ray and lab and hours seven days a week, we help injured workers get evaluated and treated quickly, with the documentation employers and insurers need.
Workers’ compensation is a state-regulated system that provides medical care and wage benefits to employees who are injured or become ill because of their job. In Illinois, the program is administered by the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission. Our role is the medical side: we evaluate the injury, provide appropriate treatment for non-emergency work injuries, and document the visit so the claim can be processed properly. For life- or limb-threatening emergencies, always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Our walk-in clinic is well suited to the everyday, non-emergency injuries that happen on the job, including:
Because we have imaging and a lab on site, many injuries can be assessed and treated in a single visit — no need to travel to a separate facility for an X-ray.
Getting an injured worker evaluated quickly supports better recovery and a smoother claim. Early treatment can prevent a minor injury from worsening, creates a clear medical record of what happened, and helps guide a safe, appropriate return to work. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) emphasizes prompt reporting and care as part of a strong workplace-safety program.
We work with local businesses as a convenient occupational-health partner for on-the-job injuries. A nearby walk-in option means your injured employees are seen quickly, with clear documentation for your workers’ compensation carrier. We can coordinate injury care alongside pre-employment physicals, non-DOT drug testing, and other occupational medicine services. To set up employer services or ask about our injury-care process, call (630) 324-6825.
If you don’t have all your paperwork yet, come in anyway — the most important thing is getting your injury evaluated. Our team can help with the documentation.
Urgent care is ideal for non-life-threatening work injuries. Go to the ER or call 911 for severe bleeding that won’t stop, head or spine injuries, difficulty breathing, chest pain, loss of consciousness, amputations, or major trauma. When in doubt about a serious injury, choose emergency care.
While every claim is handled through your employer and their insurance carrier, the medical steps are usually similar. After an on-the-job injury, the employee reports it to their employer and seeks medical evaluation. At the visit, our clinicians assess the injury, provide appropriate treatment, and document the findings, the mechanism of injury, and any work restrictions. That documentation becomes part of the record the employer and insurer use to process the claim. Follow-up care or referral to a specialist may be recommended depending on the injury. Throughout, our focus stays on the worker’s health and a safe recovery — the administrative and benefit details are managed through the workers’ compensation system.
Recovery doesn’t end at the first visit. When appropriate, we can document work status and restrictions so both the employee and employer understand what activities are safe during healing. For roles that require a formal clearance before resuming duties, a return-to-work evaluation can confirm readiness. A clear, staged return helps prevent re-injury and gets valued employees back to productive work at the right pace.
The best work injury is the one that never happens. Employers can reduce risk through proper training, ergonomics, protective equipment, and a culture of prompt reporting. OSHA offers extensive, free resources for building a safety program, and pairing prevention with a reliable local clinic for the injuries that do occur gives your team dependable coverage. We’re glad to be that local partner for businesses across Westmont and DuPage County.
