Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Plaintiff was injured during his employment as temporary worker at company, and received workers' compensation settlement. Thus, Plaintiff was barred from civil action against company, as this was his exclusive remedy. Fact that temporary staffing agency which hired him failed to register as an employee leasing company did not negate exclusivity of remedy. Terms of settlement contract released all claims arising out of accident, including common law tort claim of negligence. (CHAPMAN and DONOVAN, concurring.)
