Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Claimant, a transportation operator, filed for workers' compensation benefits for injuries sustained when chainmail strap on crane snapped loose and caused multiple injuries to his face, teeth, and chest. Commission's decision to deny TTD benefits after claimant's termination, for failure to call in or report for work, was not against manifest weight of evidence. Ample evidence support Commission's finding that, at time of termination, claimant's work-related injuries had stabilized, and that his injuries had no effect on his employment. (HOFFMAN, HUDSON, HARRIS, and MOORE, concurring.)
