COURSON v. INDUSTRIAL COM.

No. 57743.

98 Ill.2d 1 (1983)

455 N.E.2d 78

FRANK COURSON, Appellant, v. THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION et al. (The City of Mt. Pulaski, Appellee).

Supreme Court of Illinois.

Opinion filed October 4, 1983.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Warren E. Danz, P.C., of Peoria (Richard G. Leiser, of counsel), for appellant.

Robert L. Mueller, of Livingstone, Mueller, Gunning, O'Brien & Davlin, P.C., of Springfield, for appellee.


Judgment affirmed.

JUSTICE SIMON delivered the opinion of the court:

On May 21, 1975, the only policeman in the city of Mt. Pulaski was injured when a suspect he was pursuing backed a car into him. He did not file a claim for workmen's compensation for his injuries until June 1979. In this appeal we must decide whether the Industrial Commission's determination that the claim was not timely filed was proper.
