The overall value of your workers’ compensation case is based on the severity of your injuries and how long you’re off the job. Typically, the workers’ compensation insurance company pays all of your medical expenses.
You can receive total disability benefits equal to 66 ⅔ of your lost wages for 104 weeks. After that time, they can request a medical evaluation. You can continue to receive them if you remain at least 35% impaired–otherwise, they will be reduced to partial disability benefits for up to 500 weeks.
