Recoverable Workers’ Compensation Damages

Under workers’ compensation law, any employee injured on the job can recover workers’ compensation benefits. However,
some employers deny claims or do not follow proper protocol for handling claims. When this happens, you can file a
direct claim against your employer for damages. Workers’ compensation regulations provide benefits for the following
types of damages:

• Wage Losses – under workers’ compensation law, employees injured on the job are entitled to 2/3rds of
  their weekly wages from before the accident
• Medical Expenses – injured workers’ have the right to full reimbursement for any medical expenses that
  incurred as a direct result of a work-related injury
• Disability – if you are no longer able to do your job due to your work injuries, or your injuries
  temporarily prevent you from performing certain work tasks or jobs, you could be eligible to receive partial or
  permanent disability compensation
