Getting injured at work can cause a handful of problems — including financial ones. If your work injury keeps you from your job and you live paycheck-to-paycheck, it might be hard to keep your finances on track until you can return.

The good news is workers’ compensation is meant to help fill the financial gap while you’re recovering from your injury. Typically, workers’ comp benefits in Missouri pay employees approximately two-thirds (66 2/3%) of their average weekly wage. Just be sure to report your work injury within 30 days of it happening. After 30 days, it becomes more difficult to receive workers’ comp benefits in Missouri.

Perhaps the only downside is the potential waiting period. Workers’ compensation benefits aren’t paid in Missouri for the first three business days or less if you can’t work. If your injury keeps you out of work for more than 14 days, you will be paid for those three days, however.

If you cannot afford to wait for your workers comp benefits, Bridgeway may be able to advance you a piece of your benefits today! The application process is quick & easy and you only have to re-pay the money if you win your case. A pre-settlement advance, commonly called a “lawsuit loan”, is a risk free was to get a portion of your settlement money today

How much is my workers compensation claim worth in Louisiana?

Your Missouri workers’ compensation claim value will depend on the seriousness of your injury and how long you’ll be about of work. As previously mentioned, you’re looking at about two-thirds of your average weekly wage.

Here’s a breakdown of the standard Missouri workers’ comp benefits:

-Temporary Total Disability (TTD)

TTD is when your doctor says you can’t return to work because of your injuries or are recovering from surgery. TTD benefits should continue until the doctor allows you to return to work or has determined you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI). TTD benefits are 66 2/3% of your average weekly wage (pre-tax), not to exceed the maximum set by law.

-Temporary Partial Disability (TPD)

TPD benefits are paid when you can return to work at light or modified duty, but receive less than full pay. Benefits are 66 2/3% of the difference between your pre-injury average earnings and how much you’ll be paid during your disability period.

-Permanent Partial Disability (PPD)

Like with temporary partial disability, PPD means you can still work, but not in the same capacity due to your injury. The difference is your injury will prevent you from returning to your previous work status. PPD benefits are also calculated at 66 2/3 % of your average weekly earnings as of the date of your injury. You might also be eligible for a lump sum payment based on the nature and extent of your disability in the case of PPD.

-Permanent Total Disability (PTD)

PTD means you can no longer work at all. If your work injury permanently precludes you from working, you could receive weekly payments for life or a negotiated lump sum settlement. The weekly amount is again 66 2/3% of your average weekly earnings at time of your injury.

If your current work-related injury caused your PTD, you could be entitled to lifetime weekly payments from your employer and their insurer. Meanwhile, if your current work-related injury along with other disabilities caused your PTD, your employer and its insurer may only have to pay for your PPD benefits. In that case, you’d have to file a compensation claim against the Second Injury Fund to get any PTD payments.
