How This Estimate Is Calculated
Nevada sets specific rules for how weekly benefits are calculated. Applied to a Amputation — Toe/Foot claim, here's what that produces.
Nevada pays 67% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $1212/week. For a Amputation — Toe/Foot claim, the typical temporary disability period is 14 weeks, with settlement multipliers ranging 1.8x–4.0x. 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, Nevada's formula puts your weekly benefit at $667. Over the typical 14-week recovery window for Amputation — Toe/Foot, that's $9,334 in wage-replacement before any settlement multiplier is applied. Multiplying that by this injury's typical 1.8x–4.0x range is what produces the $16,800–$37,300 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
What's missing from this number: your permanent impairment rating (assigned after MMI), disputed liability, and future medical treatment — all of which can move a real settlement well outside this range.
Surgery is common for Amputation — Toe/Foot, and a surgical case typically settles toward the higher end of this range — or above it — since surgery usually means a longer recovery and a higher permanent impairment rating.
