The Illinois House has recently proposed legislation to amend Illinois Worker’s Compensation act to allow recovery of damages from services that have been retained by a worker’s employers. The current version of the act bars recovery from any service organization retained by a worker’s employer. The proposed legislation would only bar recovery from service organizations wholly owned by the employer or the employer’s insurer or broker and that provides safety service, advice, or recommendations. Illinois House Bill No. 2409 was read on February 20, 2013 and will be effective immediately once voted on. Services previously barred in this act have included, but are not limited to, borrowed employees, third party security services, and third party contractors.
