Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director

 

Title

Authority to settle the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Claims of James Landmichl vs. MWRDGC, Claim number: W001667880 in the sum of $13,565.65, Account 901-30000-601090

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

James Landmichl is a Pipefitter at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant.  On April 5, 2016, he sustained an injury to his lower abdominal area. He was initially seen at the industrial clinic on April 5, 2016.  It was determined that he required a surgical procedure and underwent surgery on April 19, 2016. He was initially disabled from work effective April 19, 2016. He returned to work on June 6, 2016.

 

Mr. Landmichl was paid a total of $8,477.95 in lost time benefits which represents a total of 6.80 weeks of lost time benefits. 

 

Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can be settled for $13,565.65, representing 3.593% loss of a person as a whole. 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
