RE: Claims of Jan Peyer and Elaine Reed
Jan Peyer was an employee of the Summit Manor Nursing Home on
February 15, 1978, and was injured when the explosion at the
Commodore Hotel blew out the windows of the nursing home. She
sustained lacerations to her head and face and claims to have
later developed soft tissue injury to her neck and constant
headaches. It was the opinion of the treating physicians that
she suffered no perma.nent partial disability. She incurred
medical expenses and loss of income durin the period of her
recuperation. Her claim was settled for �5,000 and the City of !
St. Paul' s 10% share equals $500.
Elaine Reed was planning to have lunch at the Commodore Hotel �
and on her arrival saw tha.t the emergency equipment ha.d been
dispatched in response to the fire. While standing in front
of the nursing home watching the activity, the second explosion
knocked her to the ground and injured her back and shoulder.
She was employed by the St. Paul School District and was unable
to return to work until the beginning of the fall school year.
Her physician opined that she had sustained a 15% permanent
disability as a result of the explosion, while the doctor retained �
by the defendants believed she suffered no permanent injury. �
Her claim was settled in the amount of $21,000 and the City' s I
share is $2,100.
The Office of the City Attorney recommends approval of both I
settlements.
