Body
Dear Sir:
Robert Sizemore is a Police Officer at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. On January 30, 2017, he sustained an injury to his left hand and his ribs after falling on ice. He was initially seen by the industrial clinic physician on January 30, 2017. His treatment consisted of casting of the wrist, body wrapping for the ribs and extensive physical therapy. He was also disabled from work effective January 31, 2017. He returned to work on May 1, 2017.
Mr. Sizemore received Police Duty pay during his disability period. He missed a total of 12.8 weeks of lost time from work.
Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can be settled for $43,313.18 representing approximately 4% person as a whole and 17.5% loss of a left hand. 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
