HOW MUCH DOES WORKERS' COMPENSATION PAY?

Westchester Workers' Comp Attorney

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 the maximum weekly rate for the date of your accident, while you are out of work.

Maximum Rates for Weekly Workers Compensation Payments

Date you were injured
7/1/1992 through 7/1/2007
7/1/2007 through 7/1/2008
7/1/2008 through 7/1/2009
7/1/2009 through 7/1/2010
7/1/2010 and continuing

Your Rate
$400 Maximum a Week
$500 Maximum a Week
$550 Maximum a Week
$600 Maximum a Week
2/3 of State Average Weekly Wage Adjusted Yearly

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.
