Workers’ compensation benefits for back injuries typically include: (i) medical benefits (for treatment of your back injury), (ii) disability benefits (to help cover your lost income while you are unable to work, and (iii) rehabilitative or vocational benefits (if you need help getting back to work or finding a new job). If you have a claim outside of workers’ comp, a lawyer will be able to seek additional compensation for your pain, suffering, and other “non-financial” losses.
