Under Florida law, what is the maximum benefit payable for lost wages?

In Florida, the maximum benefit payable for lost wages under workers’ compensation is set at 60%. This percentage reflects the state’s determination to provide a portion of an employee's average weekly wage while they are unable to work due to a compensable injury. This benefit is designed to help offset the loss of income, recognizing that employees may face financial difficulties when they are off work. The 60% figure is a standard calculation in Florida's workers’ compensation system, ensuring that employees receive some level of support during their recovery period, while also balancing the financial implications for businesses that provide these benefits. The other options do not align with the established guidelines set forth in Florida law regarding wage loss benefits in workers’ compensation.
