Temporary disability is another essential benefit of the workers’ compensation system.  If you experience wage loss due to an inability to work due to a work related injury, you may be entitled to temporary disability.   Temporary disability benefits are typically paid by the insurance carrier every two weeks and are calculated based on your average weekly wages.  If you are entitled to temporary disability and the insurance carrier is not paying the benefits or is not paying the benefits timely, you may be entitled to additional compensation.
