Workers' compensation should cover all of your necessary medical care, in addition to a portion of your lost wages if your injuries affect your ability to return to work. Temporary disability benefits apply during your recovery, while permanent disability benefits apply if your abilities are still limited after reaching maximum improvement. Permanently disabled employees may also be eligible for a Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit for job training and education, and an employee's dependents are entitled to death benefits after a fatal work-related injury.
