Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability
Workers' Comp Attorney New York
Q:
HOW MUCH DOES WORKERS' COMPENSATION PAY?
A:
The amount of weekly benefits you receive during your period of disability is based on the average weekly wage you were earning at the time of your injury. Initially, you should receive approximately 2/3 of your wages, not to exceed $400 per week, while you are out of work.
However, the insurance company will quickly send you to one of "their doctors" and try to cut your benefits below this level. When this happens, you should contact an attorney to petition the court for your fair level of benefits. Also, it is common for injured workers to get large cash awards for injuries to certain body parts even if they have not lost any time from work.
