Based on a permanent partial disability rating what is a fair medical settlement offer should you except on in a workers'compensation claim?

In Georgia, solely a PPD Rating you would calculate the Average Weekly Wage (AWW) multiplied times the maximum number of allowable weeks times the disability rating. Thus if you had an AWW of $100 and a PPD rating of 10% to your whole body (carrying a maximum of 300 weeks) you MIGHT expect to demand $3,000. If you think that is low, consider the low weekly wage as well as the small disability rating. If the AWW is $500, and PPD rating is 75%, the settlement demand might be at $150,375.00.

As none of this is legal advice and there is no way to know particulars of your case, please consider contacting a local WORKERS' COMPENSATION ATTORNEY to discuss your case. WC LAWS VERY FROM STATE TO STATE.

Just because a PPD rating has been given, doesn't necessarily mean that you will not require additional medical care or encounter other obstacles until you are truly at maximum medical improvement.
