Identifying the Types of Worker's Compensation Benefits

If you sustained an injury at work, you are likely overwhelmed wondering how your daily expenses will be covered - especially if your medical condition has restricted your ability to continue working. We understand this is likely an emotional time for you. The last thing you need is to be left with any surprises. Our law firm's Miami worker's comp benefits lawyers are available to explain the type of benefits available to injured workers, such as:

Average weekly wage - You are entitled to receive an average weekly wage based on your reported earnings and fringe benefits for the 13 weeks before your work-related accident occurred. Any wages you earned from a second job can also be used to calculate your average weekly wage.
Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits - You are entitled to TTD benefits if your worker's compensation doctor determines that you can no longer work because of the injuries you sustained. These benefits would be paid out for 104 weeks in combination with temporary partial disability benefits or until the worker's compensation doctor determines you have reached a maximum level of improvement.
Temporary partial disability benefits (TPD) - If you are able to return to work on a modified basis, or light/sedentary duty, you are entitled to TPD benefits. The amount of benefits will be based on how much you can earn on a modified basis. These benefits are payable for 104 weeks in combination with TTD benefits or until the worker's compensation doctor determines you have reached a maximum level of improvement.
Permanent impairment benefits - Once your worker's compensation doctor determines that you have reached a maximum level of improvement, your temporary benefits will end. In order to continue receiving benefits, the physician must determine you have a permanent impairment rating. These benefits would be paid bi-weekly at 75 percent of the wages you earned if you are still not working.
Permanent today disability benefits (PTD) - To qualify for PTD benefits, your doctors must determine that you are unable to engage in sedentary employment within 50 miles of your home based on your physical limitations.
Death benefits - If your loved one died in a work-related accident, you are entitled to receive death benefits. This would include funeral expenses, two-thirds of the deceased employee's average weekly wage and schooling expenses for the surviving spouse.

Carolyn Frank and her firm represented me on a workers compensation injury case, under the defense base act. She did a excellent job from the moment I contacted her until 3 years later the case was settled. Every benefit I was entitled too, Carolyn fought hard to secure. E-mails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Definitely 5 star rating. Daniel

I can't express how grateful I am for Elizabeth Estrada, attorney, and Elizabeth Cantin, secretary, for all the hard work in order to defend me in my time of need. My lawyer and secretary spent time explaining each step and what was to be expected. Because of this I felt a part of the whole process and understood what was going on. Thank you so much for all your hard work!  Nicole D.

Attorney Elizabeth Estrada did an amazing job representing one of my family members. She is knowledgeable, genuine, trustworthy, and one of the most hard working attorneys that I know. She was readily available to assist my family member throughout the entire process. I felt confident my family was in great hands. Krystine C.

 Carolyn is very professional. Honest since the beginning of the process till the end. She set up a game plan with you at the consultation and makes it happen. Peterlee G.

I would like to thank the staff of Friedman Rodman Frank & Estrada, P.A. The staff is professional. My attorney, Ronald Rodman, was responsive towards my email and a great advocate on my behalf for my car accident. I highly recommend this office. I hope that I will not get in a car accident again, but if I do, I'm calling Mr. Rodman. Orlando R.
