Workers’ compensation is a broad term that relates to several different types of benefits. If you suffered an injury on the job, you could qualify for one of several benefits: • Temporary disability benefits: If you suffered a temporary injury, like a broken bone, you will receive disability benefits only while recovering. Once your injury has healed, you are expected to return to work and will no longer receive the same benefits. • Permanent disability benefits: If your injury or medical condition is more severe, you may qualify for permanent disability benefits. To qualify for permanent benefits, your treating doctor will have to prove that no amount of treatment or medication can improve your condition. • Medical treatment: Medical treatment benefits will pay for any medicine, medical equipment, therapy, etc. that you need in order to get better. • Vocational rehabilitation: This is the process of placing someone with a limited disability or impairment into a similar line of profession. • Mileage: Compensation for workers’ comp-related travel, such as trips to the doctor’s office.
