Illinois HB1253 amends the Workers' Compensation Act to redefine causation for compensable injuries.
Illinois HB1253 amends the Workers' Compensation Act to redefine when an injury is considered to arise out of and in the course of employment. It specifies that an injury must significantly cause or contribute to both the resulting condition and the disability. It excludes injuries from hazards incidental to employment or those to which the general public is also exposed. The bill also limits compensation for repetitive or cumulative trauma, excluding ordinary aging or daily activities.
