Permanent partial disablement
I have been in an industrial accident where my thumb with one distal phalanx has been amputated and my middle finger with one phalanx amputated, i.e., one inch of the thumb and one and a half inches of the middle finger. My treating doctor has determined a 27% loss of earnings.
In my age category (37 years), the loss is calculated at 192.14. Now, my question is how to calculate the Permanent Partial Disablement (PPD) compensation. I need the correct formula. Can anyone please help me?

Compensation for Partial Disablement
The compensation for partial disablement cannot be determined from the table alone; it requires further data. Moreover, the amount of compensation shall be decided by the Workmen Compensation Commission and not by the employer himself. Therefore, please inform the Workmen Compensation Commissioner and take a call.

Hi,
The calculation of Permanent Partial Disablement (PPD) compensation can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific laws that apply in your situation. Typically, compensation is determined based on a percentage of the loss of earning capacity due to the permanent injury.
Here is a general formula that is often used:
PPD Compensation = (Percentage of disability) x (Maximum compensation rate) x (Number of weeks)
The maximum compensation rate is often determined by the laws in your jurisdiction, and it represents the highest amount that can be awarded for a given level of disability. The number of weeks is usually a standard figure based on the type of injury and the body part affected.
In your case, if your treating doctor has determined a 27% loss of earnings, you would use that percentage in the formula. However, you need to check the specific laws and regulations to find the maximum compensation rate and the appropriate number of weeks for your situation.
Thanks,
