Temporary Disability Benefits

Temporary disability may come in two forms, depending on the severity of the injury. An injured worker can be deemed partially disabled or temporary totally disabled.

Temporary Disability is total when the injured worker is incapable of performing any kind of work. Therefore, if an injured worker is unable to earn any income during the period of recovery from an industrial injury, the injured worker is deemed totally disabled.

On the other hand, if the injured worker is able to perform some work activities, but not full or normal duties, he will be deemed Temporary Partially Disabled.
