Types of Partial Disability Benefits for Injured Alpharetta, Georgia Workers
According to the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation (SBWC), you can receive the following financial compensation based on your injury’s severity and the length of time it will prevent you from returning to your pre-injury job and income:
- Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) benefits: These benefits are designed to meet the needs of employees who return to work in a lower-earning position for a defined period. Available compensation is two-thirds of the difference in earning capacity. TPD benefits are available for up to 350 weeks from the date the workplace injury happened and could be subject to compensation caps.
- Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) benefits: These benefits are available to injured workers who can never return to work at their prior capacity or income level. The treating physician assigns a disability rating, which determines compensation. Your workers’ compensation attorney will clarify how your doctor will assess your injury and resulting compensation.
An important part of your workers’ comp claim is the assessment of your average weekly wages. Our legal team will work hard to get this number right and document it correctly, as a miscalculation can mean you receive less monthly compensation than you are entitled to recover.
Your Lawyer May Resolve Your Workers’ Comp Claim With a Settlement Agreement
If possible and preferred, we can also help you resolve your workers’ comp claim with a settlement. The financial compensation we fight to recover for you, and the settlement agreement we negotiate, will depend on various factors, including:
- The nature of your injuries
- Your pre-injury earnings
- The duration of your injuries
- Your injury’s long-term effect
- Your ability or inability to return to work
- Your age at the time of injury
- Current and future medical care
Negotiating a settlement takes time, focus, and attention to detail. Your Alpharetta workers’ compensation partial disability benefits lawyer will fight hard for the best possible outcome for you and your family after a work-related injury.
