The size of your paycheck that is. In Illinois, your Workers’ Compensation settlement or award is based on your average weekly wage for the 52 weeks before your injury.
Some states pay everyone the same based on the injury. But not Illinois, so make sure the amount the insurance company claims you were paid is correct.
Overtime can be included if it was required and worked on a regular basis.
You can also add wages from a second job if your employer was aware of the second job.
If something doesn’t look write about your wage calculations give me a call and I will review it with you.
