Payments for Serious, Disabling Injuries
Permanent partial disability may be granted for injuries that result in permanent damage, such as an amputation or blindness. Also called a "scheduled loss award," it is meant to compensate the injured worker for pain and suffering as well as impaired earning capacity. We can argue for increased payments if your condition worsens over time.
Permanent total disability is for injured workers who cannot return to work because of their injury. You may be able to receive permanent total disability payments for the rest of your life. We can represent you at the hearing before the Industrial Commission to determine your eligibility for permanent total disability.
