Is there a maximum Charleston workers' compensation weekly payment?

Yes. They are set every year by the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission based on the average weekly income of workers in the state. Workers' compensation is usually 2/3 of the injured employer's normal wages. However, the maximum payment for 2009 is $681.36 per week, or a total of $340,580 over the course of 500 weeks.
