COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
Mr. John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Title
Authority to settle the Workers’ Compensation Claim of Sean Lee vs. MWRDGC, Claim 16 WC 039005, Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC), in the sum of $19,379.50, Account 901-30000-601090
Body
Dear Sir:
Sean Lee is an Electrical Mechanic at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On November 30, 2016, he sustained injuries to his right shoulder. Mr. Lee was initially seen in the industrial clinic on November 30, 2016. He treated conservatively with medication and physical therapy. He did not lose any time off from work as a result of the accident as he returned back to work on December 1, 2016.
Mr. Lee was not paid any lost time benefits.
Mr. Lee filed an Application of Adjustment of Claim with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) through his counsel. Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this case can now be settled for $19,379.50, representing approximately 5% loss of use of the 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, Director of Human Resources, BKS:RAJ:RG
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 August 2, 2018
