The basic benefits that you are entitled to are: payment for your time off work at two-thirds of your average weekly wage; payment of your medical bills that are related to your work injury; and then at the end of your case, you are generally entitled to a permanent partial disability settlement, which is based upon a number of factors – including your age, your occupation, the injury that you sustained and the residual effects of that injury, among other factors.
Those are the general three rights that you are entitled to with workers’ compensation.
There can be additional rights in the case of a wage differential or permanent total disability case.
If your case appears to be one where you’re not going to be able to return to your previous career or you’re not going to be able to return to work at all, I would advise that you speak with an attorney about your rights in those cases.
