If you are temporarily disabled and receiving a check from workers' compensation, it generally means you've sustained a work-related injury or illness that prevents you from working for a limited period. Workers' compensation benefits are designed to cover your lost wages and medical expenses during your recovery. Here’s how it typically works:
Temporary Disability Payments: You will receive temporary total disability (TTD) or temporary partial disability (TPD) payments based on your wage before the injury. TTD pays when you can’t work at all, while TPD applies if you can do some work but at a reduced capacity.
Medical Treatment: Workers' comp will cover medical expenses related to your injury, including doctor visits, rehabilitation, and sometimes medications.
Duration: These payments continue until your doctor determines you're able to return to work or you've reached "maximum medical improvement" (MMI), meaning your condition has stabilized.
Returning to Work: Once cleared by your doctor, you'll either return to your original job or, if you're still limited, you may return with restrictions or transition into a different role.
If you have concerns about your workers' compensation benefits or need further assistance with your claim, consulting a workers' comp attorney(954-618-1776) can provide clarity and help protect your rights.
