Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Court properly granted summary judgment for Defendants hospital and its parent company, on grounds that Workers' Compensation Act was exclusive remedy. Plaintiff had sought workers compensation benefits, for injury sustained when tripping over cable while working in a hospital lab, and that workers compensation arbitrator had decided that Defendants were Plaintiffs "joint employer" at time of injury.
(HUDSON and BIRKETT, concurring.)
