credit for the PD paid in this claim.
Future Medical Care
Future medical care to include orthopedic evaluations, orthotics, medication, and physical therapy. Surgical
intervention may become necessary in the future should her condition deteriorate. Work restrictions are

ANALYSIS
IW was precluded from returning to her position as a City of Palm Springs Police Officer. The whole person
impairment was 32% and valued at $42,050.00. A C and R was preferred since spine surgery was included in the
FMC, which today would be valued at $100,000.00. IW has retired, all other claims were dismissed, and the
claim will be closed once the C and R is paid and recorded.
