There have been no Workers’ Compensation trials or court dockets since the middle of March 2020 due to the coronavirus.
The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission has issued a memo indicating that starting in May 2020 the court will be open in a limited fashion.
Trials may be requested in May and held in June 2020.
There will be a limited number of trials and both sides must agree to the trial.
It is not perfect, however it does move a step closer to reopening fully.
The Illinois Workers’ Compensation system does continue to settle cases and accepts new filings.
