Thomas Runyan v Woodbridge Corporation
Release Date: Nov. 6, 2020 (Accident date Feb 5, 2015)
Venue: St. Charles
Plot Summary: A 65-year old retired employee with a prior heart attack reports acute chest pain in an admitted accident when he felt a pop in his chest at work. Claimant underwent a cardiac work-up and he was diagnosed with costochondritis. The Commission in a 2-1 decision affirms an award of 12.5% BAW PPD plus medical bills of $8788 to "rule out" a heart condition. A dissent felt the PPD was excessive for an essentially untreated condition and the "cardiac" bills did not flow from any compensable medical condition.
