Injured workers are entitled to receive benefits under the worker’s compensation law. Here are some types of disabilities where the workers can claim compensation:
• Temporary Total Disability – a benefit payable when the injured worker is unable to work because he or she is under active medical care and has not reached maximum medical improvement. Compensation is two-thirds of the employee’s average weekly wage.
• Temporary Partial Disability – when the injured worker is still able to do some work, however he or she is still recovering from the effects of the injury, and therefore, can only perform limited amount of work.
