18 Aug Compensable Injuries Under Workmen’s Compensation Claims
Benefits available under worker’s compensation vary from state to state regarding the particular injury. Generally speaking, though, each state usually distinguishes between temporary and permanent disability and also between partial and total disability. The types of injuries usually included are:
- Catastrophic loss or severe injuries, such as broken bones, amputation or loss of a limb, burns, permanent scarring, disfigurement or traumatic brain or spinal cord injury.
- Joint and connective tissue injury.
- Repetitive motion or stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, ligament, tendon, and muscle or nerve damage.
- Mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, and depression
Of course, the best case scenario would be that your claim is processed promptly and your proper compensation will be assigned to you.
