How are permanent partial disability benefits determined?
Payments are based on a special chart applicable for the year of your injury. Each body part is valued at a specific number of weeks. The rate at which each week is paid depends upon your wage. The weekly rate cannot exceed 70% of your gross weekly wage. However, there is a rate cap for each year.
