Legal Question in Insurance Law in Illinois

I hate to say it, but it depends. Typically, an interpleader is where an insurer tenders its policy limits to the Registry of the Court for the judge to disburse. If you don't care who gets the proceeds, or if you have no objections as to the amount of the proceeds, then the matter will continue, and the insurer will no longer be involved in the lawsuit. If you don't attend, however, you can't object.

Bottom line, if you are an interested party, it would probably be wise to try to attend, or have an attorney attend in your place.
