Your average weekly wage is calculated using the 52 weeks before the date of the accident and is the gross wage, that is, before taxes. Payments in compensation are calculated based on your average weekly wage, your degree of disability according to your doctor, and the degree of disability, according to the insurance company's consultant. If your employer continues to pay you full wages during the period when you are out of work with a disability, they will have an opportunity to request reimbursement from your awards for wages paid.
My experience with the firm of Terry Katz and Associates proved to be a very rewarding experience. My specific case was for the receipt of SSI benefits. After having been denied my initial request for SS benefits, I contacted the firm of Terry Katz and Associates in the hopes of reinforcing my appeal.
The associate with whom I worked, Ms. Langdale, was truly exceptional, providing me not only with invaluable guidance, but personable and compassionate care along the way. She is a wonderful person. In the end, my appeal was successful and I am now receiving benefits.
I am so grateful to the Katz firm, for the exceptional assistance I received, not only from Ms. Langdale, but from all the associates involved at the firm. I highly recommend retaining their services for anyone seeking to strengthen their SSI case. Thank you again, Terry Katz & Associates!
