Workers Comp Settlement Charts, Weekly Rates, and Filing Rules by State

Workers compensation is a state-level law. The rules in California are not the rules in North Carolina, and the difference can mean tens of thousands of dollars on the same injury. CompCharts publishes the schedule, the weekly cap, and the filing deadlines for every US state. Every number traces back to the public state or federal record it came from.

Workers comp by state

Each state hub covers the current weekly benefit rates, the statutory schedule of injuries, filing deadlines, the agency to contact, and the points where calling a workers comp lawyer is worth it.

Settlement value by body part

Settlement values for a back injury, a shoulder tear, or a knee surgery vary dramatically across states. Each body-part page ranks every US state by the maximum permanent partial disability payout at the current state cap.

Major metros

Local board offices, hearings, and filing notes for the cities our readers ask about most. Workers comp is set by state law, so the city page is about where to file, where the hearing is, and when to call a lawyer.
