Workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect employees that are injured, disabled, or in worst-case scenarios, killed on the job. These laws ensure that employees are provided with fixed monetary benefits in order to eliminate the need for litigation. Workers’ Compensation laws also provide benefits for the dependents of those killed because of work-related accidents. Under the current law, you are entitled to both income benefits and medical benefits.

There are three main types of income benefits you can receive via the Workers’ Compensation Law:

• Temporary Total Disability (TTD):
  If your doctor takes you completely out of work or states that you can only perform light-duty work and your employer does not have light-duty work available for you then you will be qualified for this type of benefit.
• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD):
  If your doctor places you on light duty work and you are able to return to work, you will be qualified for this type of benefit.
• Permanent Partial Disability (PPD):
  This benefit is paid if you suffer a permanent injury that no longer allows you to work at all.

Medical benefits are the responsibility of your employer who is required to provide medical treatments including: Emergency room visits, doctor visits, physical therapy, medical testing, prescriptions, prosthesis. They are also responsible for reimbursing your gas and/or travel expenses to and from your medical appointments.

If a work-related accident results in death, compensation to that employee’s dependents will be due as defined by state law. A maximum total of $150,000 may be payable to dependents of a deceased victim.
