The rating system is complex.* Determining the amount of money the injured worker is entitled to may require legal assistance. It will be individualized for your particluar case and when the pecentage of your impairment has been determined, that will determine the amount you will receive.
NOTE:
When injured you are required to receive medical care from doctors authorized by the employer.* If you go to your own doctor you will pay for the care.* If the employer doesn't clearly provide a notice of what clinic you are to receive treatment at, you can go to your own doctor until the employer later directs you to a medical provider.* There are procedures for 2nd opinions to see doctors other than required by the employer.
