Worker's Compensation

Workers’ compensation benefits can cover more than your current and future medical expenses. An award may also cover:

• Temporary total disability: If an injury keeps you temporarily out of work, depending on your wage, you are entitled to two-thirds of your average weekly salary, up to the average weekly wage in Utah, until you are able to work again.
• Temporary partial disability: If your injury allows you to work on a limited basis, temporary partial disability payments can help make up the difference between what you are able to earn and two-thirds of your average weekly salary.
• Permanent total disability: Permanent total disability is paid when an injury prevents a worker from engaging in work activity for the rest of his or her life.
• Permanent partial disability: If your injuries are permanent, but you are still able to work on a limited basis, you may be eligible for permanent partial disability benefits.
• Medical care: All medical care that is related to your workplace injury should be covered by workers’ compensation for the entirety of your lifetime.
• Mileage: All mileage for doctor visits related to your workplace injury should be reimbursed by the insurance company.
