Helping sister

Is 66% just Indiana, or do all states chose what their percentage is?

And that is something I can completely agree with and understand. You are already ahead of the game on this, and that is a good thing. Workers' comp can be ugly, and it often hinges on how all the parties act in relation to their responsibilities. Some things you want to find out:
Are they self insured or covered by a carrier? Who will be managing the claim? The employer by law generally has to disclose that info to the employee.

If they do not provide hours comparable to her old hours, she may be entitled to supplemental pay from WC to make up the difference. In Indiana you can call the Workers' Compensation Board at 317-232-3809, and they may help answer some of your questions.

Workers' comp can be a painfully slow and frustrating system. Your sister is going to need to be vigilant to make sure she receives what she is entitled to. I would also advise her to make every effort to take care of herself and heal properly, as the quicker she heals, the less ugly WC can get.

As for the 66%, call your state legislators. They are the only ones that can change that!
good luck.
