permanent partial disability

When you are determined to be medically stationary, your claim is ready for closure. An examination is done to determine whether you have a loss of use or function as a result of your injury. This loss of function is determined as a percentage of whole body impairment for benefit calculations.

permanent total disability

If you are unable to return to any form of gainful and suitable employment held in the past, you may qualify for PTD benefits. These benefits are based on your average weekly wage at the time of the injury but are paid monthly instead of biweekly. Generally, they are for significant and serious injuries, such as paraplegia, quadriplegia, or traumatic brain injuries.
