In New York, it depends upon your doctor's opinion as to
permanent percentage of functional loss according to 1996
Medical Guidelines of the NYS WCB, and the carrier's doctor's
opinion, then a compromise, or a fight wherein the Judge will
choos one or the other. If his average weekly wage is $600
or higher, 10% is worth about $12000, 20% about $24000, etc.,
minus prior payments and/or credit for wages paid (with
possible restoral of accruals used).
