Disability Benefits in Workers Compensation Case
Permanent Partial Disability
Permanent Partial Disability is paid to the injured worker if he or she is not completely disabled and can return to work but usually at a lower-earning capacity than the previous job before injury. Under Workers' Compensation law, permanent partial disability is generally defined as an injury that impairs the physical or mental ability of a worker to carry out some part of normal work duties for the rest of his or her life.
Maximum Improvement
The injured employee is said to have reached "maximum improvement" when the doctor
determines that further recovery is not anticipated. Once the injured employee reaches maximum improvement, the doctor will use the American Medical Association guidelines to determine the percentage of disability. This percentage of disability will determine the disability benefits the injured worker is entitled to under workers compensation laws.
Disability Rating
