Benefits Workers compensation benefits are limited by law. This limitation is why Atkin & Associates believes it is important to recover all appropriate benefits possible. Benefits allowed are: Medical Expenses: All medical expenses related to the injury are to be paid. This benefit continues for life provided the workers compensation insurance company is billed for medical care at least every three years. Mileage: 34.5 cents a mile to and from medical treatment. Temporary Total Disability: Payment for time off work when a doctor's restrictions prevent work. Paid until Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). Temporary Partial Disability: Compensation for reduced wages during light duty. Paid until MMI is reached. Permanent Partial Disability: Impairment ratings are compensation for the permanent injury caused by the industrial injury. Permanent Total Disability: If the injury is permanent and prevents return to work, PTD provides retraining and, may pay benefits for life. Death Benefits: If an injury results in death, burial benefits as well as benefits for dependants are paid. Interest: 8% per annum interest accumulates on unpaid benefits.
