On February 16, 2017, Jynnifer Bates and Mark Carter hosted a webinar entitled “2016 Illinois Workers’ Compensation Case Law Year in Review” through the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. From case law to legislation, as well as the overall direction of the practice, they reviewed the landscape of Illinois WC law.  The webinar included a discussion of procedural rulings involving credits for prior injuries.  They also evaluated decisions regarding independent contractors, impairment of earning capacity, the inclusion of overtime earnings in average weekly wage calculation. Last but not least, they addressed trends and court rulings in the hottest topic of all:  impairment ratings.  If this seminar or any other topic in WC interests you, please contact us to discuss how we can meet your business’s needs.
