- To calculate the potential value of your claim you take the number of weeks associated with the specific injury (chart below) multiplied by the percentage of disability assessed by your treating physician. You then multiply this number by the appropriate PPD compensation rate for the year the injury occurred in. (outlined below) This will provide you the maximum value of the permanent partial disability portion of your workers compensation claim.
- Ex: 5% PPD on left knee. Date of injury: January 1, 2014. 425 weeks for injury to knee multiplied by 5% = 21.25 weeks, payable at the maximum PPD rate of $322.00 = $6842.50.
