How Indiana pays a knee injury
- The number of degrees depends on how the rating is expressed: the leg above the knee uses 45 degrees and a whole-person rating uses 100.
- Whether a knee rating is applied to the leg or the whole person changes the award, so confirm the basis in the rating report.
- Earlier tiers: $1,913 / $2,133 / $3,481 / $4,436 for July 2025 – June 2026 injuries.
Indiana knee settlement math: an example
- A 10% rating of the leg above the knee is 4.5 degrees × $1,970 = $8,865.00.
- The same 10% as a whole-person rating is 10 degrees = $19,700.00.
- Your wage does not change the amount.
Arithmetic with chosen inputs, not a typical rating or an observed settlement. A settlement can also resolve wage benefits and future medical care.
