Jason Rosenthal, chair of Much’s Commercial Litigation group, was quoted in a Bloomberg Law article on the Illinois Supreme Court’s split decision that employees may file Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) claims each time their companies or employers unlawfully collect their data, instead of just the first time.
Looking at how this ruling will impact BIPA-related insurance policy trends, Rosenthal noted that “many policies going forward will expressly exclude coverage for biometric claims.”
