What You Should Know About Workers’ Compensation

Did you know that you may be entitled to wrkers’ compensation benefits even when you fail to lose any time from work for an on-the-job injury?

YES. This is true.  What many injured workers may not realize is that even though you are albe to successfully return to work within a day or within a few days following an injury, you still may receive workers’ compensation benefits in the form of a permanent partial impairment award.  Permanent partial impairment awards compensate the injured workers for ongoing physical or mental impairments associated within on-the-job injury regardless of whether that injured worker had lost any time.

For more details regarding your entitlement to a permanent partial impairment award contact our workers’ compensation attorneys, Ellen McCarthy and Benjamin Wiborg.
