How is workers comp calculated?

Workers comp benefits are typically calculated as two-thirds (66.67%) of your average weekly wage, up to your state's maximum weekly benefit. The exact formula varies by state and injury type.

How long does a workers comp settlement take?

Most workers comp settlements take 12 to 18 months from the date of injury. Complex cases involving permanent disability or disputed claims can take 2 to 3 years.

Is workers comp taxable?

Generally, workers compensation benefits are not taxable at the federal level. However, if you receive both workers comp and Social Security Disability benefits, a portion may be taxable. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
