Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Insurance
Medical providers filed suit against workers compensation insurer for its alleged failure to fully pay for their services to an injured employee.Plaintiffs failed to state a cause of action for breach of contract implied in law or implied in fact, and failed to adequately allege the element of consideration. Providers are not 3rd-party beneficiaries of the policy, and they have no remedies under Section 155 of Insurance Code, as those remedies extend only to insured party and assignees of insurance policy, and not to 3rd parties.(PUCINSKI and HYMAN, concurring.)
