Case Details
Injured worker Kenneth Lenhart was initially awarded 75% loss of his whole body, totaling $212,951, after an injury in December 2004. The Illinois Appellate Court later ruled in March 2015 that he was entitled to be evaluated under a wage loss theory, which would amount to $559.73 per week or $29,106.13 per year.
Additional Notes
Case took approximately five years to resolve through arbitration, Commission affirmation, and Appellate Court review. The wage loss theory provides two-thirds of the difference between pre-injury and post-injury earning capacity.
