How much money does workers compensation pay for lost wages?
Injured workers are entitled to receive 70-75% of the wages they received prior to their injuries. Most injured workers are entitled to receive a weekly check for the entire period they are off work, and this income is non-taxable income and not reported to the IRS. There is a complicated method and set of rules for calculating the actual amount and our attorneys routinely check this for our clients and assist them in getting their weekly check increased.
