Are You Eligible for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

Workers’ compensation benefits are available regardless of who is at fault for your injury. You may be able to claim a portion of your lost income to ensure your medical bills and other expenses get paid. If you have a permanent disability, you may also be entitled to additional disability benefits. Documentation is the most important factor in determining what benefits are available to you. You must have proof of your injury from a qualified medical professional. Your medical records will serve as your proof and will allow your employer’s insurance carrier to assess your present and future needs.

Benefits which you can receive from workers’ compensation include:

Benefits Available from Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation can help you get the medical care you need, pay your bills, and get back on your feet after a workplace accident or illness.

Wage Loss Benefits

Wage loss benefits are what people generally think of when talking about workers’ compensation. While these benefits do not cover your full regular wages–you only receive 66 percent of the state average weekly wage–the benefits can certainly help make ends meet. You must miss a full week of work before your wage loss benefits begin, although you may be able to recover the first week’s pay later.

Medical Benefits

Workers’ compensation benefits can also pay for medical treatment related to your injury or illness.

Scarring and Disfigurement Benefits

If your injury or illness left you with permanent disfigurement, you may qualify for a lump sum payment for your losses. You may be eligible if you suffered significant scarring, disfigurement, or permanent loss of function on your face, neck, or hands.

Other Benefits

Several other benefits may be available through workers’ compensation, including the opportunity to attend vocational rehabilitation for qualifying workers. Workers’ compensation also provides survivors and dependents of someone who died in a workplace accident with funeral benefits and burial costs. Additionally, surviving spouses are entitled to 66 percent of their late spouse’s weekly income as long as they remain dependent and do not remarry.
