Temporary and Permanent Total Disability

The 2007 workers' compensation legislation has changed things considerably for those with total disability. Only people with permanent total disability are eligible to obtain lifetime workers' compensation benefits.

If you have a temporary total disability, you may obtain relief for a period of time, until the court determines you are ready to return to work.

Remember, however, it is extremely important to explore all avenues of relief.

Filing a Social Security Disability insurance claim can help you get benefits in addition to those you obtain through workers' compensation.

If a third party (not your employer) was responsible for your injury, you may also file a personal injury claim.

Our attorneys will work closely with you to determine all potential sources of compensation to help you seek the relief you need.

Total Industrial Disability

If you have a partial disability, but are nonetheless unable to work due to compounding factors (age, educational background, job skills) you may be found to have a "total industrial disability." This designation would allow you to receive the same lifetime benefits that a person with a permanent total disability would. While your doctor's evaluation will play an important role in this determination, the final decision will lie with the judge. We can help you present a compelling case that gives you the best chance of legal success.
