Max award is for total loss on a schedule, or for a 10% rating where the state uses whole-person ratings, at the top weekly rate. "Whole-person %" means the award depends on your doctor's whole-person impairment rating. "Wage loss" means there is no rating-based award and benefits depend on lost earnings. Open each state for the full rule and a calculator.
Estimate only. Your real award depends on your doctor's rating, your wage records, offsets and settlement terms. This page is general information, not legal advice.
