I am about to settle i believe on a new york state worker comp case. i revieved a 20% loss of use on my rt shoulder that injury happen in late september 2010 from my doctor the ime agreeded with that. i also had a case re-open up on my same right arm elbow with my doctor giving me a 15% losss of use and also the ime agreed with that. that injury occured in may 2008 im trying to figure out if i have a clear cut case dealing with my slu award and how to figure out the calculation of my award based on that chart . i understand the weeks but what im confused on is the money part of it i believe that i should calculate the maxium weekley amount because my weekley salary is 1500 gross. am i correct. plus i wasnt out at all maybe three days total for both cases. please help thank you. can i aslo keep my medical open after the award

thank you for the reply so it would be the maximum for the year of the injury times the weeks minus lawyer fees and time off is that correct

you forgot the rating percentage for partial loss of use; not much $$ in comp.

I'm sorry I don't understand. What is partial loss of use. All I know is that I take 20% which equals 62 2/5 weeks x 733. Which is the maxium rate for a injury that happen after September 2010. Am I correct. Sorry to be a pain. My lawyer is not too helpful. And for my other injury is the amount of weeks for 15% x I believe 500 which is The max dollar rate for a injury in 2008. Am I correct.

I also remember them saying its a permanent schedule loss of use.

in your earlier post you did not indicate that you were using the rating %; you only posted "weeks".
formula: rating% times SLU scheduled weeks times weekly rate = total $$$due

if that's the earnings used, then yes; they can't change the legal requirement.
