COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to settle the Workers’ Compensation Claim of Jeffrey Mitchell vs. MWRDGC, Claim 16 WC 032105, Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC), in the sum of $37,006.72, Account 901-30000-601090
Body
Dear Sir:
Jeffrey Mitchell is a Machinist at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On December 10, 2013, he sustained an injury to his left arm. Mr. Mitchell was initially seen by an Industrial clinic doctor on December 13, 2013. Conservative treatment was unsuccessful and he required a procedure. After undergoing a procedure on April 14, 2014, his post-surgery treatment consisted of physical therapy. Mr. Mitchell was able to resume his regular work duties on October 30, 2014.
Mr. Mitchell was paid a total of $38,236.31 which represents 32.8 weeks of lost time benefits.
Subject to the approval of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, this Pro-Se claim can now be settled for $37,006.72 representing approximately 10.256% loss of a person as a whole. This settlement will close out future lost time benefits, as well as any future medical benefits associated with this injury.
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, Beverly K. Sanders, BKS: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 15, 2016
