Never be without a schedule of California’s permanent disability values again. The iComp Calculator by Haight Brown & Bonesteel, LLP displays the compensation rate and permanent disability value for any date of injury after 1983. You input the average weekly earnings and it calculates the TTD rate and PD rate. You input the percentage of permanent disability; the App calculates the number of weeks of payment, the lump sum value of permanent disability and, where appropriate, the life pension weekly rate for percentages up to 99.75%. You can’t inadvertently use a permanent disability rate out of range for the date of injury, because the application shows the range permitted for each disability percentage and date.
This tool replaces all the charts and folders practitioners have had to carry around to obtain permanent disability values in California’s complex system. The calculator is a short-cut that makes PD charts and tables obsolete. And, it works off-line! Try it free for 30 days, then purchase it for $4.99 if you want to continue to use it to save time and effort.
Now, the App provides quick and easy assistance in calculating the number of days between any two dates. When indemnity is paid between the two dates, the App calculates the sum of the benefits paid during multiple broken periods. Calculating the total of indemnity benefits paid during several broken cycles, the temporary disability owed over broken periods of time, the percentage of permanent disability to be shared by multiple parties - all are part of the 2015 update.
