The terms of the settlement constitute a full and final settlement of the workers’ compensation claim. The Enterprise Services Director and Risk Manager recommend the City Council to authorize the City Manager to settle this claim and issue payment as outlined.
BACKGROUND:
This will be a global settlement including a Claim Disposition Agreement, which disposes of all indemnity (time loss, impairment, vocational rehabilitation, aggravation rights); a Disputed Claim Settlement, which disposed of medical treatment rights; and an Employment Release, waiver of all other claims and re-employment rights. Claimant will be giving up all workers’ compensation and employment rights, claims, and future claims.
