The newspaper also reported prison warden David Rednour, 35, received more than $75,000 in June when he was promoted to the job. The money was for repetitive trauma he said happened while he was a police officer, said Rich, who also represents Rednour.
Rich said he does not remember what caused Rednour’s injuries.
In addition, he received $9,196 in paid time off last year to recover from corrective surgery.
David Rednour’s Illinois workers’ compensation attorney, Thomas Rich, cited the so-called “last employer” clause in the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act allowing state employees to claim compensation for an accumulated injury. In this case, David Rednour claims his repetitive trauma began with his prior employer.
