How This Estimate Is Calculated
Oklahoma sets specific rules for how weekly benefits are calculated. Applied to a Vision Loss/Eye Injury claim, here's what that produces.
Oklahoma pays 70% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $993/week. For a Vision Loss/Eye Injury claim, the typical temporary disability period is 4 weeks, with settlement multipliers ranging 1.4x–3.5x. 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, Oklahoma's formula puts your weekly benefit at $700. Over the typical 4-week recovery window for Vision Loss/Eye Injury, that's $2,800 in wage-replacement before any settlement multiplier is applied. Multiplying that by this injury's typical 1.4x–3.5x range is what produces the $3,900–$9,800 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
A few factors this estimate can't see: your actual impairment rating, whether liability is contested, and ongoing medical costs beyond the immediate claim.
Surgery for Vision Loss/Eye 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.
