In a putative class action lawsuit, the Illinois Appellate Court considered the question of whether the Genetic Information Privacy Act applies to life insurance underwriting.

Plaintiff filed a declaratory judgment action against his automobile insurer seeking uninsured motorist coverage. The circuit court granted the insurer’s motion to dismiss by finding that the lawsuit, which was filed six years after the collision, was time-barred by the statute of limitations. The appellate court reversed, finding that the lawsuit was timely filed within the 10-year statute of limitations applicable to coverage lawsuits. (VAN TINE and D.B. WALKER, concurring)
