Fighting For The Level Of Disability Payments You Need

In general, most injuries result in permanent partial disability. A catastrophic injury, such as a spinal cord injury, brain injury or amputation can result in permanent total disability. The injury victim will be limited to doing certain types of work, which may result in them earning a lower salary than that of their previous job.

The amount of disability you receive is based on the disability rating you are issued. The workers’ compensation judge awards the level of disability: From 1% to 99% is permanent partial disability. Only a 100% rating will merit permanent total disability benefits. These benefits are awarded as a settlement, but they are usually paid out weekly.

We can fight to make sure the judge awards you the amount of permanent disability that you should be entitled to. We can also ensure that you receive lifetime medical care to address your medical needs.
