What happens if my case is proven?

If your Workers’ Compensation case is proven, you may receive the following benefits:

• Costs for medical treatment and rehabilitation, including transportation.
• Cash payments for lost wages if you are out for more than one week or if there is a permanent disability.
• Temporary cash benefits are about 2/3 of your gross wages. You pay no taxes on these benefits.
• Additional cash benefits if there is permanent damage to a limb or for loss of hearing or eyesight; a death benefit; and vocational rehabilitation or retraining.
• Cash benefits can continue for as long as your disability lasts; however, you may need to reapply for those benefits after a period of time, or verify that your work-related symptoms still affect your health.
