Apparently you are trying to figure out how much money you are
going to get… there are several viriables to this… However,
that link above isn’t going to help you, even if you could
understand it. Many Dr/provessionals can’t calculate a proper
rating. The Calif Labor Code specifies FIVE WEEKS of compensation
for each ONE % of your 16% PD/WPI rating, or 80 weeks. You’ll
probably get about $140/week or so, So the indemnity due would be
$11,200 +/-. There could be some adjustments to that amount,
depending on how the settlement is negotiated. You are not likely
to be paid the full amount, but rather reduced to “todays dollars”,
a statutory 3%/annum discount. Information on PD/WPI and disability
payments is available in the Fact Sheets for IW’s here
