Two Recent Developments Promise to Shed Light on Accrual of BIPA Claims - The National Law Forum

First, the Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, found in Watson v. Legacy Healthcare Financial Services, LLC, et al. that claims under sections 15(a) and (b) of the Act accrue with each and every capture and use of a plaintiff’s biometric identifier or information.
