Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
(Court opinion corrected 3/11/11.) Accounting clerk employee fractured both wrists when she stumbled and fell on a six-inch dip in an inclined commercial driveway while walking to bank to deposit checks in employer's account. Claimant established that her job duties exposed her to a risk greater than that faced by the general public, as dip in driveway was a street hazard and a job risk to claimant, who was required to use the public way to make bank deposits two or three times per week. Thus, injuries sustained arose out of and in course of her employment, entitling her to worker's compensation benefits. (McCULLOUGH, HUDSON, and STEWART, concurring; HOLDRIDGE, specially concurring.)
