Body
Dear Sir:
Daniel Gierut is a Pipefitter at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On June 21, 2016, he sustained an injury to his left knee. He was initially seen at the industrial clinic on June 21, 2016. The employee treated conservatively with physical therapy and medications. He was initially disabled from work on November 4, 2016. It was determined that he required a surgical procedure and underwent surgery on December 2, 2016. He returned to work on February 21, 2017.
Mr. Gierut was paid a total of $19,313.14 in lost time benefits which represents a total of 15.40 weeks of lost time benefits.
Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can be settled for $29,000.00, representing approximately 17.86% loss of a left leg. This settlement will close out any future lost time benefits as well as any future medical benefits associated with these injuries.
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, Director of Human Resources, BKS:RAJ:RG
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Judiciary
