An Illinois appellate court held that where a temporary staffing agency assigns or loans a worker to a borrowing company, both the “lender” and the “borrower” are immune from tort liability under the exclusive remedy provisions of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act. Accordingly, where a lent employee was exclusively supervised by an employee of the borrowing firm, working the same hours as the regular employees of that borrowing firm, she could not sue it in tort following a work-related accident. The court stressed that there was evidence that the lending agency’s representatives had ever visited the injured worker’s work site.
