Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to settle the Workers’ Compensation Claim of Keith Conry vs. MWRDGC, Cases 13 WC 7758 and 13 WC 7759, in the sum of $45,068.79, Account 901-30000-601090
Body
Dear Sir:
Keith Conry is a Pipefitter at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. On August 31, 2012, he sustained an injury to his right arm. He was initially seen at clinic of his choice on December 27, 2012. The employee underwent surgery to his right upper arm. He was able to return to work on June 17, 2013.
Mr. Conry was paid a total of $22,919.94, which represents 19.4 weeks of lost time benefits.
Mr. Conry’s attorney filed an Application of Adjustment of Claim with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC). Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this case can now be settled for $45,068.79, representing 25% loss of a right arm. This settlement will close out any future lost time benefits associated with this injury. Medical benefits remain open for reasonable and necessary treatments.
The Director of Human Resources believes this settlement is in the best interest of the District and requests payment of that sum be approved and she be authorized to execute such documents as may be necessary to effect the settlement.
Requested, Denice E. Korcal, Director of Human Resources, DEK:RAJ:RG:sts
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Judiciary
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for December 3, 2015
