What are Permanent Disability Benefits?
If your work injuries are permanent, you can get permanent disability benefits, which are equal to two thirds of the amount you used to earn before your injury.
In a perfect world, employers would count their blessings when an employee reported a work injury uncomplicated enough that the employee would easily make a full recovery and resume his or her previous job after receiving treatment. Unfortunately, even in uncomplicated cases, employers and their workers’ compensation insurance carriers still pinch pennies. It is even worse when the injury is severe enough that the employer will have to pay for more than just a few doctor’s office visits. Your employer’s workers’ comp insurance must pay you disability benefits if it turns out that, even after you complete your treatment, you will never be quite the same. For help getting the payment you need on a claim that involves permanent disability benefits, contact an Omaha workers’ compensation lawyer.
