How to Calculate AWW Under the Longshore Act
Rememeber -
Always tell the truth.
If you are caught in a lie,
you will lose your case.
So, always tell the truth.

Average weekly wage (AWW) is the most heavily litigated issue under the LHWCA. Depending on how AWW is cacluated, this issue can mean A LOT OF MONEY TO YOUR FAMILY.

First, you need to determine how many days you worked in the 52 weeks prior to your injury. For this example, you worked 245 total days the year before you were injured.

Take your total earnings for that 52 week period, in this case - $68,456.78.

Divide $68,456.78 by the 245 days actual worked.

This results in an Average Daily Wage of $279.42.

Multiple that figure by 260 days (52 weeks x 5 days a week).

$279.42 x 260 (because you are a five day a week worker) = $72,649.20.

Then divide by 52 weeks - - this results in an average weekly wage of $1,397.10.

$1,397.10 x 2/3 = $931.40.

This method gives you an AWW of $1,397.10 and a compensation rate of $931.40.
