Dear Anonymous,
If you miss more than 21 days of work from a work-related injury, you are entitled to Temporary Total Disability benefits (TTD). TTD is 2/3 of your "average weekly wage." If your injury is permament, you are entitled to payment for any Permanent Partial Impairment, (PPI). Your PPI rating will be determined by the company's workers compensation doctor. However, if you disagree with the company doctor's PPI rating, you can seek out a rating from a doctor of your own choosing. You will have to pay for this evaluation. If you have additional questions, you should contact an experienced workers compensation attorney.
Best,
Chip Clark
