The duration of TPD benefits varies depending on several factors, including the severity of your injury, your recovery progress, and any state law limitations that may apply. Your attorney understands the specific rules and regulations governing TPD benefits in your jurisdiction and will ensure that you receive benefits for the appropriate length of time.
Factors Affecting the Duration of Benefits
If you qualify for TPD, these factors will influence the duration of your benefits:
The severity of your injury: The more severe your injury, the longer you may require TPD benefits. The nature of your job and the physical demands it places on your body will also influence the duration of benefits.
Your recovery progress: Medical evaluations will be crucial in tracking your recovery and determining how long you will need TPD benefits. Your healthcare provider can advise when your recovery allows you to return to work.
State laws: Each state has specific rules and regulations governing the duration and calculation of TPD benefits. California, for example, stops TPD after 104 weekly payments.
Your lawyer will help you get maximum TPD benefits and ensure you receive them for the duration you deserve.
