If your accident date was after July 1, 2008 your case may be worth more now
The Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission just released the following statement:
In plain English, permanent partial disability is what you get for the permanent nature of your injury once you are all better. The amount you get paid is based on the date you were hurt, the extent of your injury and the amount you were earning when you got hurt. The PPD rate is 60% of your wage and is subject to a maximum amount. Click here for the rate chart. The Commission had incorrectly stated that the maximum rate was $643.82. If you are a high wage earner your case is probably worth more money now.

Due to a clerical error, the maximum PPD rate for 7/1/08 - 6/30/09 that was posted in January 2009 was wrong. Please note the correct rate is $664.72. We apologize for the inconvenience.
