Workers' Compensation Payment for Partial Disability
Partial disability can be collected if the injured worker returns to a light duty assignment that pays less than the pre-injury position paid. Workers' Compensation will pay a percentage of the previous salary. This benefit will vary from state to state. If, during your treatment and before you are fully recovered, your physician determines that you can work on a part-time basis, then you are eligible for temporary partial disability benefits subject to the statutory maximums.
These benefits, also called lost time pay, are intended to replace part of the income you may lose as a result of your injury. To qualify for temporary total disability benefits contact a Worker's Compensation attorney in your state.
YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO MONETARY COMPENSATION.
