Respiratory Therapist Collects $250,000 in Illinois Workers Compensation Claim
The Illinois workers’ compensation attorneys at Lipkin & Apter were contacted by F.G., a 58-year-old respiratory therapist for South Suburban Hospital earning upwards of $25 per hour, who injured her knee while pushing a hospital bed at work in January 2008. She underwent knee surgery and several years of treatment due to her injury and deep vein thrombosis (clotting) condition that developed following surgery. Unfortunately for F.G., she was unable to return to work because her job required her to spend several hours a day standing, walking, and flexing and bending her knee. In the end, the lawyers of Lipkin & Apter negotiated a settlement of F.G.’s workman’s compensation claim that required her employer to pay for past and future medical treatment, and a $250,000 lump sum payment, representing her permanent total disability.
