How This Estimate Is Calculated
This estimate starts with West Virginia's wage-replacement formula, then applies typical outcomes for Amputation — Toe/Foot claims.
West Virginia pays 67% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $1135/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, West Virginia'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
A few factors this estimate can't see: your actual impairment rating, whether liability is contested, and ongoing medical costs beyond the immediate claim.
Because surgery is a likely part of treatment for Amputation — Toe/Foot, whether it's actually needed in your case is one of the biggest single factors in where your real settlement lands relative to this range.
