Jason Rosenthal Comments on Illinois Supreme Court Ruling on BIPA in Business Insurance

Jason Rosenthal, chair of Much’s Commercial Litigation group, spoke to Business Insurance about the Illinois Supreme Court’s highly anticipated ruling that Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) claims are governed by a five-year statute of limitations, rather than a one-year statute. While this ruling may signal bad news for BIPA defendants, Jason noted a silver lining in that this five-year statute “increases the likelihood that they [companies] may have commercial general liability policies that have more favorable language.”
