Not legal advice

Workers compensation is a state-level legal system, and every state runs its own. The figures on this site come from public state and federal sources and describe the law as it sits at the date we fetched the page. The site does not interpret that law for your specific claim. It does not review your medical records, your wage history, or the conduct of the carrier handling your claim.

Reading this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. We do not represent workers or insurance carriers and we do not accept claims or referrals. If you need legal advice on a specific workers compensation claim, please consult a licensed attorney in your state.

Accuracy

We aim to publish accurate data and we cite the source for every figure on every page. Workers compensation rates, statutes, and agency contact details change. If a figure on the site is out of date or wrong, the official state source wins. Please contact us to flag any drift so we can re-verify.

Calculator output is an estimate

The CompCharts settlement calculator uses each state's statutory formula to estimate a permanent partial disability award. Real settlements depend on factors the calculator does not model: the impairment rating assigned by the doctor at maximum medical improvement, the open vs closed medical question, future medical cost projections, Medicare Set-Aside arrangements, attorney fees, and the carrier's negotiating leverage. The calculator output is a statutory ceiling for the PPD piece of the case, not a prediction of what you will be offered or what you should accept.

No paid placements

CompCharts does not list specific law firms, does not run a lawyer referral service, and does not accept paid placements. The site is funded outside the legal industry. If we add monetization in the future (display advertising or affiliate income from neutral products), it will be marked clearly on the page and will not compromise the editorial independence of the data.
