If you are awarded permanent disability status, it means that you are not expected to recover from your injuries. This will be verified by medical professionals, and other experts. Generally, your level of reimbursement (calculated from your salary before the incident) will be lower with permanent than with temporary disability. However, it lasts much longer.
Temporary Disability
If you have been injured on the job and expect to make make enough of a recovery to continue work at a future date, there are different levels of temp disability.
- Temporary Partial Disability: This type of claim can be filed when you can only complete part of your regular duties and so your employer cannot offer you the same wages or hours. You will receive a supplementary income of ⅔ of whatever wages and benefits you have lost as a result of the injury.
- Temporary Total Disability: A temporary total disability is when you cannot perform any of your regular work duties. If you qualify for a temporary disability claim, usually you will receive a bi-monthly check of ⅔ of your normal income until you can get back to work.
