Your case value = TTD + TPD + PPD + medical expenses + mileage. The exact amount depends on three things: your average weekly wage (AWW), your impairment rating, and your injury year, which sets the official caps.

Formula: 66.7% of your AWW + $20/week per dependent (spouse and up to 4 minor children), capped at $1,376/week for 2026 injuries.
Example: AWW $900 → $600/week. With a spouse and 2 kids: $660/week.
When you return on reduced hours or light duty that pays less.
Formula: 66.7% of the difference between what you earned before and what you earn now.
Example: you earned $900, now earn $500 on light duty → 66.7% × $400 = $266.80/week.
Compensates permanent damage once you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI) with an impairment rating.
Formula: impairment % × 312 weeks × weekly PPD rate (66.7% of AWW, capped at $917/week for 2026 injuries).
Example: 10% × 312 = 31.2 weeks; with AWW $900 the rate is $600 → $18,720.
All reasonable and necessary treatment related to the injury: visits, surgery, physical therapy, medication, prosthetics.
The carrier pays these directly — but they count when valuing a full-and-final settlement, because signing may waive future treatment. Always get a future-treatment estimate before closing.
Every mile you drive to injury-related medical appointments.
2026 rate: $0.715/mile (2025: $0.695; 2024: $0.675).
Example: 40 miles round trip × 20 visits = 800 miles × $0.715 = $572.
AWW $900 · married, 2 kids · 12 weeks off work · 8% impairment (WPI) · 600 medical miles
| TTD: 12 wks × ($600 + $60 dependents) | $7,920 |
| PPD: 8% × 312 wks = 24.96 wks × $600 | $14,976 |
| Mileage: 600 mi × $0.715 | $429 |
| Medical expenses | Paid by the carrier |
AWW $700 · single, no kids · 6 weeks off work · 5% impairment · 300 medical miles
| TTD: 6 wks × $466.67 (2024 cap: $1,284) | $2,800 |
| PPD: 5% × 312 wks = 15.6 wks × $466.67 | $7,280 |
| Mileage: 300 mi × $0.675 (2024 rate) | $203 |
| Medical expenses | Paid by the carrier |
AWW $2,200 · married, 1 kid · 20 weeks off work · 15% impairment · 900 medical miles
| TTD: 66.7% × $2,200 = $1,467 → capped $1,376 × 20 wks | $27,520 |
| PPD: 15% × 312 = 46.8 wks × $917 (PPD cap) | $42,916 |
| Mileage: 900 mi × $0.715 | $644 |
| Medical expenses | Paid by the carrier |
You add up the benefits: TTD (66.7% of wages while you can't work), TPD (if you return earning less), PPD (impairment % × 312 weeks × rate), medical expenses, and mileage. Weekly caps depend on the injury year: in 2026, TTD max is $1,376 and PPD max is $917.
It's the permanent impairment percentage your doctor assigns at maximum medical improvement (MMI) using the medical guides. Each percentage point is worth 3.12 weeks of PPD pay. With a $900 AWW, each 1% is worth $1,872 — which is why the rating is worth verifying before you sign.
If you sign a full-and-final settlement, you typically give up carrier-paid future treatment. A fair settlement value should therefore include an estimate of the treatment you will need, not just accrued benefits.
Yes. The weekly caps are set by the fiscal year of your injury date. A 2024 injury uses a $1,284 TTD cap and $856 PPD cap; a 2026 injury uses $1,376 and $917. Mileage rates also change by year.
TTD checks typically start within weeks if the claim is accepted. PPD is paid once you reach MMI and have a rating. A negotiated settlement can take months; disputed cases before the Labor Commission can take over a year.
