Most people fully recover from their work injuries and illnesses.
However, if your doctor determines that you will not recover completely and that you have reached a point where your condition is permanent and stationary, you may be eligible to receive permanent disability benefits. Permanent disability benefits are designed to compensate you for limitations in your ability to work in the future. If you are unable to return to your job due to your work injury or illness, you may qualify for vocational rehabilitation benefits. Your surviving dependents are eligible to receive a death benefit if your work injury or illness results in your death. The amount of the death benefit depends upon the number of dependents eligible to receive the benefit.
