Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Claimant, a manager at a fast-food restaurant, filed for worker's compensation benefits for injuries to her right hand and thumb suffered while wiping down a table at work. Injury resulted from risk distinctly associated with her employment, as claimant often assisted in busing tables and cleaning tables to keep customer flow moving. Commission's finding that claimant's current condition of ill-being was causally related to accident was not against manifest weight of evidence. Award of TTD and PPD benefits was not against manifest weight of evidence. (HOFFMAN and STEWART, concurring; HOLDRIDGE and HUDSON, specially concurring.)
