A resource that estimates monetary compensation for lasting physical impairments resulting from work-related injuries under the state’s worker’s compensation system. For example, an employee who loses partial use of a limb due to an accident at work might use such a tool to understand the potential compensation they are entitled to receive.
These calculations offer valuable insights into potential financial outcomes, assisting both employees and employers in understanding their rights and obligations within the worker’s compensation framework. The availability of such estimations allows for more informed decision-making during the settlement process, and helps promote a more equitable resolution. Historically, accessing such information was often complex, requiring legal expertise, but these tools aim to democratize access to preliminary compensation estimates.
