Workers’ Comp Settlement Chart by Body Part & State

Permanent partial impairment is a lump sum: $273,000 multiplied by the whole-person impairment percentage — no per-body-part week schedule.

“$273,000 multiplied by the employee's percentage of permanent impairment of the whole person”

Arizona keeps a fixed schedule, but it is expressed in months, not weeks — 60 months for the loss of a major (dominant) arm, 50 for a minor arm, paid at 55% of the average monthly wage.

“For the loss of a major arm, sixty months, or of a minor arm, fifty months.”

No body-part week schedule. An AMA-Guides impairment rating becomes a permanent-disability percentage, which converts to weeks through the statutory table in Lab. Code § 4658.

“Number of weeks for which two-thirds of average weekly earnings allowed for each 1 percent of permanent disability within percentage range”

Impairment income benefits are paid biweekly at 75% of the average weekly temporary-benefit rate, with the number of weeks scaling with the impairment percentage.

“Impairment income benefits are paid biweekly at the rate of 75 percent of the employee's average weekly temporary total disability benefit not to exceed the maximum weekly benefit”

Losses are expressed as 'degrees' of permanent impairment (e.g. 12 degrees for loss of the thumb), each degree carrying a statutory dollar value.

“For the loss by separation of the thumb, twelve (12) degrees of permanent impairment; of the index finger, eight (8) degrees … of the hand by separation below the elbow joint, forty (40) degrees of permanent impairment; of the arm above the elbow, fifty (50) degrees of permanent impairment”

Permanent partial disability pays 66⅔% of the average weekly wage multiplied by the impairment rating and statutory factors.

“For permanent partial disability, sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the employee's average weekly wage but not more than eighty-two and one half percent (82.5%) of the state average weekly wage … multiplied by the permanent impairment rating caused by the injury or occupational disease as determined by the "Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment," times the factor set forth in the table”

Hybrid: specific-injury lump sums under ch. 152 § 36 (e.g. loss of the major arm equals the state average weekly wage multiplied by a statutory figure) on top of wage-loss benefits.

“For the amputation or permanent, total loss of use of the major arm, a sum equal to the average weekly wage in the commonwealth at the date of the injury multiplied by forty-three”

The impairment percentage from the disability schedule is multiplied against a statutory dollar amount — not against weeks.

“The percentage determined pursuant to the rules adopted under section 176.105 must be multiplied by the corresponding amount in the following table”

The award equals the impairment percentage applied to a statutory base, per § 39-71-703.

“The permanent partial disability award must be arrived at by multiplying the percentage arrived at through the calculation provided in subsection (5) by 400 weeks.”

Each 1% of whole-person impairment is compensated as a monthly payment (0.6% of the average monthly wage) — no week schedule.

“Each 1 percent of impairment of the whole person must be compensated by a monthly payment”

The award is calculated from 35% of the state average weekly wage multiplied by statutory multipliers per § 65-05-12.2.

“The organization shall calculate the amount of the award by multiplying thirty-five percent of the average weekly wage in this state on the date of the impairment evaluation, rounded to the next highest dollar, by the permanent impairment multiplier specified in subsection 10.”

Impairment benefits equal the impairment value × 100 × the state average weekly wage, per ORS 656.214.

“Impairment benefits are determined by multiplying the impairment value times 100 times the average weekly wage as defined by ORS 656.005”

Hybrid: § 28-33-19 keeps a specific-injury schedule for severances (e.g. arm at or above the elbow) alongside wage-loss benefits.

“For the loss by severance of either arm at or above the elbow, or of either leg at or above the knee, for a period of three hundred twelve (312) weeks”

All permanent partial disability is apportioned to the body as a whole (450-week base) and multiplied by the impairment rating — the old body-part schedule was abolished.

“All cases of permanent partial disability shall be apportioned to the body as a whole, which shall have a value of four hundred fifty (450) weeks”

Impairment income benefits run 3 weeks per 1% of whole-person impairment, paid at 70% of the average weekly wage (Lab. Code §§ 408.121, 408.126).

“the date of expiration of a period computed at the rate of three weeks for each percentage point of impairment”

Permanent partial benefits run for a period computed by multiplying the whole-person impairment percentage against the statutory week base in 21 V.S.A. § 648.

“for a period determined by multiplying the employee's percentage of impairment of the whole person by 330 weeks”

Hybrid: RCW 51.32.080 lists amputation awards as statutory dollar amounts (adjusted for inflation), not weeks; non-listed impairments use whole-person percentages.

“LOSS BY AMPUTATION ... Of arm at or above the deltoid insertion or by disarticulation at the shoulder. . . . 54,000.00”

Impairment is rated under the AMA Guides and converted to an award under § 27-14-405 — no per-body-part week schedule.

“An injured employee's impairment shall be rated by a licensed physician using the most recent edition of the American Medical Association's guide to the evaluation of permanent impairment. The award shall be paid as provided by W.S. 27-14-403 for the number of months determined by multiplying the percentage of impairment by sixty (60) months.”
