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 weekly wages, not to exceed $600 per week, if you were injured after 7/01/09, 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 us 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.
