In Edgar Lucero v. Focal Point LLC., (22 IWCC 0231) the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission affirmed and adopted the very first COVID-19 litigated case in Illinois, in favor of the Petitioner.

COVID-19, the severe, acute respiratory syndrome caused by the Coronavirus, is the dominant concern today.

Since 2011, Section 8.2(d) of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act has held that undisputed bills must be paid within 30 days of receipt of a complete bill.
