How are my wage loss benefits calculated?

Generally, wage replacement benefits equal about 2/3 of the injured worker’s average weekly gross pay. Your average weekly wage will be set in the early stages of your case and will be the basis for the calculation of all wage replacement benefits paid to you for the life of your claim.

There are various methods for calculating average weekly wage depending on the number of days per week worked, whether the employee is full-time or part-time employed, seasonal workers, workers with multiple employers, and other factors.

There are statutory maximum and minimum weekly benefit caps based on the date of the accident. Wage replacement benefits are tax-free.

Can I choose my own doctor?

The injured worker is free to choose his or her own doctor as long as that doctor accepts workers’ compensation. Medical treatment is provided at no cost to the injured worker, and a provider is prohibited from seeking payment for a work injury directly from the injured worker.

In exchange, the workers’ compensation system attempts to maximize care with the goal of returning the claimant to work by requiring doctors to follow the Medical Treatment Guidelines, which include a standard of care for treatment. The Medical Treatment Guidelines provide for certain pre-authorized medical services. There is a procedure for doctors to follow if they wish to obtain authorization for treatments falling outside of the guidelines.

Authorization of medical treatment is often the source of controversy in workers’
compensation claims and there are options available to claimants to obtain approval for treatments even when the insurance carrier tries to deny it. This is not necessarily something an injured worker would want to handle without the assistance of an experienced attorney.
