Workers' Compensation Benefits Cover Four Things:
1. Medical Bills
You receive compensation for your doctors' visits, treatment and any prescription drugs you might need — like painkillers and antibiotics.
2. Temporary Disability Benefits
If you can work even light duty, and your employer has light duty available, then you won't receive these benefits. But if you can't work, or there's no light duty available, then you're eligible. You'll receive 70% of your average weekly wage. You can only receive these benefits up to a certain maximum, determined by a few factors that we can discuss.
3. Permanent Partial Disability
If your injury causes any long-term disability or impairment, you will receive an additional award of compensation. The amount will be based on a doctor's assessment of the severity of your disability. It will be negotiated and finalized during your administrative hearing.
4. Future Medical Expenses
No matter how much progress you make in recovery, it's always possible that your condition will get worse and require future medical treatment. You can draw on this benefit until two years after your award of compensation. However, this time limitation can sometimes be overcome. We can discuss that with you at the appropriate time.
