If you have a permanent injury under workers compensation, you do potentially have an entitlement to a claim for permanent partial disability benefits. And the way that works is we have to obtain the input from a treating physician or a physician who does an evaluation. The evaluation or the report that we obtain from that physician will do a review of this schedule of benefits, there’s a schedule of body parts with associated percentages. And the physician will look and make that diagnosis and provide us with a disability rating and that translates to a certain dollar amount. Those usually happen at the end of a case when an injured worker has completed treatment, when the physician feels that that injured workers at a plateau and has recovered as good as they’re going to recover from an injury.
