Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Claimant filed worker's compensation claim for injury to his right wrist, sustained when the rolling chair he was sitting in at work, while filling out forms, went out from underneath him as he reached to retrieve a dropped pen. Act of reaching for dropped pen while sitting in chair was not one he was instructed to perform or had a duty to perform, and was not incidental to his assigned duties. Risk of injury at issue was not one distinctly associated with his employment. (HOFFMAN and HUDSON, concurring; HOLDRIDGE, specially concurring; STEWART, dissenting.)
