Depending on your date of injury, and whether you were offered permanently modified work, IF you were a 'maximum earner', it would be between $27000 and $34000 paid over 188 weeks. IF YOU MADE LESS than $230/week on the average, it will be less. If you were unable to return to full duty and there was no Offer of Permanently Modified Work, the amount should be increased by 15% after 8 weeks... and if the insurer paid you too much temporary disability (payment past your Maximum Medical Improvement date), the overpayment gets subtracted from your Permanent disability award.
