Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood (the “City”) has been advised by its workers’ compensation Third Party Administrator (TPA), Relation Insurance Services, that the best course of action would be to resolve Claudio Loveras’ (the “Claimant”) workers’ compensation claim relating to injuries that occurred on January 26, 2003, which were found to be compensable.
On January 26, 2003, Mr. Loveras sustained an injury due to a motor vehicle accident. The injury was found to be compensable and the Claimant continues to receive treatment. Mr. Loveras worked for the City until he reached normal retirement on October 31, 2016.
To date, the City has paid out $71,198.28 for this claim.
It is recommended that the City Commission authorize an amount not to exceed $12,000.00 to settle with the claimant. The agreement will include the provision that the Claimant will not be able to treat any of his industrial injuries under his regular health insurance.
