Jeffrey Jordan found success recently before the Illinois Appellate Court. In getting the trial court's dismissal of the case overturned, Jeff successfully argued that the Defendant's employer was responsible for his negligence while preparing to leave the job.
O'Connor & Nakos partner Mark Murnane won an appeal in which the appellate court expanded the "deliberate encounter" exception. This case will assist injured employees in obtaining recovery when they are faced with no choice but to encounter dangerous conditions on the job.
