        "description": "**Value depends on medical costs, lost wages, permanent partial disability rating (e.g., lump sum for impairment), typically $10k-$100k+ for backs.** Utah awards include 8% interest on delays[1]. **Key factors:** Impairment percentage, surgery needs, time off work, future care. **Practical guidance:** Use comp calculators cautiously, get attorney for max settlement, consider trial for denials. No pain/suffering in comp. **Idaho similar, varies by wage[2].**"
