Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation Act
Claimant appealed from a circuit court order reversing a decision of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission awarding her benefits for injuries to her wrist sustained while employed as a crossing guard. The Commission had concluded that while claimant was traveling to work at the time of the injury, the injury arose out of and was in the court of her employment because she was on the village’s premises at the time of the injury. Claimant appealed the circuit court’s order and the appellate court found in her favor, reversing the circuit court order and reinstating the decision of the commission. (HOLDRIDGE, JUDSON, CAVANAGH, and BARBERIS, concurring)
