[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 484931, member: 13254"] Here WC pays 70% of your average weakly pay from you last 16 (I think) paychecks. The is a maxout of $750 per weak. If you are working TAW, any money you earn then is deducted from what you would draw if you were not working at all. If you use up you 29 days and still have time to go you, draw the total of the formula. Most UPS drivers hit the max of 750. All money received from the WC payments are tax free (possibly not tax free from State income tax, I don't). In Texas you have approx. 2 years on comp, then you have to go on disability. Some of the laws on this change ever so often depending on who's in charge. Your medical expenses are covered 100% for life on that given injury, but have to be pre-approved by the insurance carrier(Liberty Mutual). oops, let something out. When you are release to return to work, it is determined you have reached maximum medical improvement. You have to be evaluated for any % of permanent disability. If you have lost (permantly) ,say, 10% in you range of motion or strength you receive payment for that also. If I remember correct the formula for that is (in the case of 10% loss) 10x3x the average amount of compensation payments. so, (in the example) you would receive 30x $750. [/QUOTE]
