Temporary disability benefits are meant to replace a portion of your pre-injury wages, typically amounting to two-thirds of your average weekly wage. However, there are minimums and maximums in place, and many injured workers find themselves receiving less than they need to cover their expenses. If you suspect your benefits are inaccurate, it's crucial to seek legal guidance to ensure you're being compensated. We can help you figure out if your benefits are accurate and you're being compensated correctly. |
| Unlike temporary disability benefits, which aim to offset lost wages, permanent disability benefits are intended to compensate for the lasting impairment caused by the injury. It's common for injured workers to receive permanent disability benefits while still working, as these benefits are not considered a wage offset. However, many find that these benefits are insufficient to maintain their standard of living. |
