How This Estimate Is Calculated
Arizona sets specific rules for how weekly benefits are calculated. Applied to a Knee Injury claim, here's what that produces.
Arizona pays 67% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $1094/week. For a Knee Injury claim, the typical temporary disability period is 10 weeks, with settlement multipliers ranging 1.4x–3.2x. See the full methodology for where this range comes from and what it doesn't include.
Here's the actual math: on a $1,000 average weekly wage, Arizona's formula puts your weekly benefit at $667. Over the typical 10-week recovery window for Knee Injury, that's $6,667 in wage-replacement before any settlement multiplier is applied. Multiplying that by this injury's typical 1.4x–3.2x range is what produces the $9,300–$21,300 estimate above. Your own number will differ based on your real wage — use the calculator on the homepage to plug in your actual figure.
What This Estimate Doesn't Account For
This is a starting range, not a final number. It doesn't account for your specific impairment rating, whether the insurer disputes the claim, or future medical costs tied to the injury.
Surgery for Knee Injury is common enough that it's worth asking your treating doctor directly whether it's likely in your case — it materially shifts where your real number lands in this range.
