What Benefits Are Available?
The exact benefits you can receive depend on a variety of circumstances, but there are some that are most typical after a work injury, including:
- Medical benefits: These are the most common benefits people receive after being hurt at work. Medical benefits can pay for adequate treatment for injured workers. They can also cover prescriptions and even parking fees at the doctor’s office. These benefits should cover all medical bills related to the work injury, including emergency room visits, X-rays, surgical procedures and more.
- Disability benefits: This is another common workers’ compensation benefit that can help when an individual endures injuries that have long-term effects and consequences. Most people are eligible for either temporary total disability benefits, which can cover lost wages until they are able to work again, and temporary partial disability benefits, which can help cover partially lost wages while the person works in a different position or with different hours. Some may also be eligible for permanent and total disability benefits if they are completely unable to work indefinitely as a result of injury or illness at work.
Workers’ compensation is one of the more complicated areas of the law, and it can immensely benefit employees to have an attorney on their side while trying to figure out what benefits they’re eligible for and how to secure them.
