It s been a month for getting asked questions I d never heard in 20 plus years of being an Illinois workers compensation attorney.
The latest was from a nurse who got Covid working in a Chicago hospital. She unfortunately has a bad case and appears to have some long term heart damage.
The twist, in this case, is that she lives in Indiana, and apparently was told that she should apply for FMLA. Her boss either told her or implied that since she lives in Indiana, those laws apply. This is of course, totally wrong. She wanted to know if she could bring a case here.
