Title
Authority to settle the Workers’ Compensation Claim of Randall Perini vs. MWRDGC, Claim 14 WC 39639, Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC), in the sum of $50,000.00, Account 901-30000-601090
Body
Dear Sir:
Randall Perini is a Pipefitter at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On November 8, 2012, he sustained injuries to his right knee. Mr. Perini was initially seen in the industrial clinic on November 8, 2012. He initially underwent conservative treatment consisting of physical therapy and medication. On February 13, 2013 he underwent a surgical procedure of the right knee. He was disabled from work at this time. Following this surgery the employee underwent additional physical therapy. Mr. Perini was able to return to work on June 24, 2013.
Mr. Perini was paid a total of $22,068.16 representing 18.60 weeks of lost time benefits.
Mr. Perini 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 $50,000.00, representing approximately 32.23% loss of use of the right leg. This settlement will close out future lost time 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
