Types of Worker’s Disability Compensation (Part 2)

www.caw.ca

• Permanent Partial Disability – compensation is given to some types of permanent conditions that will still allow the worker to work.
• Permanent Total Disability – in order to receive this compensation, the worker must prove that he has a permanent problem, and that he is unable to go back to work in any capacity.
Although in many states, there are rulings where workers that can only perform undependable, sporadic, or occasional work may still be considered permanently totally disabled. Also frequently, the state worker’s compensation law will allow lawyers to offer evidence where a worker’s age, training, education, and experience will prove that the worker is already incapable of working.
