- Workers' Compensation Benefits
Benefits in workers' comp can be awarded through the following awards:
* Permanent total disability: Awarded to an individual who is permanently disabled and unable to return to the workplace. These are awarded on a weekly basis for life.
* Permanent partial disability: Awarded to individuals suffering an injury from a workplace accident, where the award is based on a mathematical percentage of the legal disability. Permanent injury and permanent work restrictions are often times considered when determining the nature and extent of a worker's injury.
* Wage loss/wage differential: Qualifications for wage loss, also called wage differential, are based on the individual's earning capacity prior to the accident and post-injury. This award will compensate for the differences in earning capacity over the course of an individual's lifetime or the duration of disability.
* Lifetime medical benefits: These benefits may be awarded to those who have suffered a serious injury, where the person is awarded lifetime medical care for the work related injury.
