There are statutory maximums for the amount you can receive per week. Temporary Total Disability ends when you reach medical stability. Your right to temporary total disability benefits expires 8 years after the date of your injury. Temporary Partial Disability ends when you reach medical stability. Please note that the maximum benefit rate for payment of Permanent Partial Disability is lower than the maximum benefit rate for Temporary Total Disability so the benefit rate changes for some people.
Problems can develop if the rating is given too soon.
Never pressure your doctor for a rating before you are medically stable. Your signature on the compensation agreement means that you agree with the impairment rating being paid. It is not a settlement, as your benefits remain available if you need additional help in the future. This is a complicated area of the law. Legal advice should be obtained.
