I have had the opportunity to speak at two Illinois Workers’ Compensation seminars this summer.
The consensus among the lawyers who presented at the seminars is that the deadlock among legislators and the Governor will continue regarding changes in the Workers’ Compensation law.
Nothing will happen until after the November election and a new legislature is seated in January 2017.
In some ways the budget stalemate has helped injured workers because changes the would damage injured workers’ rights have not been enacted.
Some recent important court cases have clarified the Illinois Workers’ Compensation law.
