Benefits provided by workers’ compensation are two-fold: wage loss and medical care. You can receive benefits for wage losses so long as you are incapacitated due to the injury. Namely, you can receive wage loss benefits for:
as long as you are disabled when the injury results in permanent and total incapacity;
up to 156 weeks when the injury results in temporary total incapacity; or
up to 260 weeks when the injury results in temporary partial incapacity.
Medical benefits are provided as long as the services are needed due to the injury or illness you suffered at work or from working. Keep in mind, though, that an insurance company can deny or stop treatment if it deems it unreasonable or unnecessary. But if that happens, you can appeal the denial with the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA).
