Parent Company Providing Workers' Compensation Can't Be Sued By Subsidiary's Employee

 

Recent decision could impact how businesses structure their corporate family.

In a recent court case, the Illinois Appellate Court decided that if a parent company is contractually obligated to maintain workers’ compensation insurance for its subsidiary will be exempt from civil litigation by the employees of the subsidiary if they are injured on a construction project that is controlled by the parent company. This white paper reviews how this decision may change how businesses form their corporate families, insurance coverage programs, and third-party contracts.
