Types of Temporary Disability Benefits

There are two types of temporary disability benefits:

• Temporary Total Disability (TTD)
  If your injury is temporary but prohibits you from doing any work, you may be eligible to receive TTD benefits until you’ve recovered and are able to return to your job.
• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD)
  If your injury is temporary and you’re still able to complete some of the work you did before your accident, you may be eligible to receive TPD benefits until you can take on a full workload again.

At Ponce Law, our Nashville workers’ compensation attorneys stand up for the rights of workers like you who were injured on the job. You deserve money for your workplace injury, and we’ll do our best to help you get it.

Types of Permanent Disability Benefits

Workers’ compensation benefits that provide money to people who suffer permanent disabilities include:

• Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) Benefits
  Workers who suffer injuries that affect parts of their bodies and aren’t expected to heal may qualify for PPD benefits. This may include conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve damage, or loss of vision in one eye.
• Permanent Total Disability (PTD) Benefits
  PTD benefits are awarded to workers who suffer disabilities that prevent them from returning to the workforce in any capacity. Conditions that quality for PTD benefits include blindness, paralysis, amputation, and more.

Determining the extent of your injuries and whether your disability is temporary, permanent, partial, or total can be confusing—and your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance may not give you the benefits you deserve. Don’t settle for decreased benefits. Let Ponce Law help.
