Description
Petitioner, Bruce Kazonovitz, sought workmen's compensation benefits and penalties from Continental Distributing Company, respondent, for an injury to his left thumb. The arbitrator awarded petitioner his medical expenses, 8 3/7 weeks of temporary total disability compensation, and 23 1/3 weeks of permanent partial disability compensation. On review, the Industrial Commission agreed with the arbitrator's findings; however, it modified his decision by also awarding penalties of $3,731.47 as additional compensation pursuant to sections 19(k) and 19(l) of the Workmen's Compensation Act (Act) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, pars. 138.19(k), 138.19(l)) and $746.29 in attorney fees as provided in section 16 of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.16). The circuit court of Cook County confirmed the medical expenses and benefits but reversed the penalty awards. The only issue is the propriety of the penalty awards. Petitioner worked for respondent as a truck driver delivering cases of liquor. On July 27, 1979, he was handling a case of liquor when it suddenly dropped on his left hand. He promptly notified his supervisor of the accident. The supervisor sent him to a hospital where the hand was X-rayed and his left thumb was placed in a splint. Subsequently, his hand began to swell and turned purple at the thumb.
