Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
Employee, working as equipment operator, sustained right shoulder injury during course of employment. Evidence clearly establishes injury to shoulder, not to arm. Although injury to shoulder may impact use of arm, the initial injury was to shoulder, and a scheduled award for loss of use of right arm would be inappropriate. Commission properly awarded benefits for injury to the person as a whole under section 8(d)2 of Workers' Compensation Act. (McCULLOUGH, HOFFMAN, HOLDRIDGE, and STEWART, concurring.)
