I can no longer drive a truck, which was my living (CDL A license) due to a work related injury to my left knee. I have been given a 5% permanent partial disability rating. How can I calculate monetary compensation I should receive?

      Didn’t you have a lawyer handling this for you? Go to the offices of the workers’ comp board and ask to speak to a case worker. They can tell you.

      Were you given this rating by an IME or a AME?
