COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to settle the Workers’ Compensation Claim of Angela Anderson vs. MWRDGC, Claim W001338393, Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC), in the sum of $46,512.15, Account 901-30000-601090
Body
Dear Sir:
Angela Anderson is a Fireman/Oiler at the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant. On December 8, 2014, she sustained an injury to her right arm. Ms. Anderson was initially seen by an Industrial clinic doctor on December 8, 2014. Conservative treatment was unsuccessful and she required a procedure. After undergoing the procedure on April 29, 2015, her post-surgery treatment consisted of physical therapy. Ms. Anderson was able to return to work on August 17, 2015.
Ms. Anderson was paid a total of $21,969.16 which represents approximately 21.8 weeks of lost time benefits.
Subject to the approval of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, this Pro-Se claim can now be settled for $46,512.15 representing approximately 12.65% 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
