For an employee with Permanent Disability between 15% - 25% between 2004 - 2013, what is the benefit amount?

For an employee with a Permanent Disability rating between 15% and 25% during the period of 2004 to 2013, the correct benefit amount is indeed $6,000. This amount is consistent with the scheduled benefits established under California's workers' compensation system for that era. Specifically, the benefits for Permanent Disability are structured such that the rates increase with the percentage of disability, ensuring that employees receive compensation that reflects the severity of their impairment.

During this specific time frame, the amount associated with ratings in this range was set to ensure that those who experienced moderate levels of disability received a fair and standardized compensation that aimed to address the impact of their condition on their ability to work. Understanding these benefit structures is crucial for evaluating potential claims and recognizing the rights of injured employees under California workers’ compensation laws.
