Illinois Workers’ Compensation Comm’n, 2015 IL App (2d) 130884WC, and its progeny, to the extent that those decisions held injuries attributable to common bodily movements or routine everyday activities, such as bending, twisting, reaching, or standing up from a kneeling position, were not compensable unless a claimant proved work-related exposure to a risk of injury from these common bodily movements or routine everyday activities to a greater extent than the general public, the Supreme Court of Illinois reversed a lower court's determination that affirmed a denial of benefits to a restaurant chef who injured his knee as he knelt in the restaurant cooler to retrieve a pan of carrots.
