Jacksonville Permanent Disability Compensation Lawyers
Most on-the-job injuries are minor and easily resolved. You report the incident, receive applicable treatment, and move on with your life. Unfortunately, some workplace injuries are not so simple. One moment in an unsafe workplace can cause a life-threatening and long-term disability that can affect every facet of your life. Luckily, Florida permanent disability compensation is an option for those who suffer a permanent disability at work.
The workers compensation system is extremely complex and classifies different disabilities in different ways. Generally, a condition that interferes with your hearing, vision, heart, spine, brain, or limbs can be cause for permanent disability. However, the system distinguishes between total and partial permanent disability. Total permanent disability is a situation in which you are completely unable to return to any job under any circumstances. This can occur with brain injury, amputations, paralysis, or other conditions. Partial permanent disability means that you can still perform some job functions, but may need vocational rehabilitation or a job switch in order to keep working.
Permanent disability can be a devastating psychological shift for a worker used to clocking in every morning and working hard all week. You’ll need extensive medical support and rehabilitation to cope with the realities of permanent disability and the fear of financial ruin can loom large over a person coming to grips with their new life. Luckily, workers compensation can help provide financial compensation for you when you become permanently disabled due to an on-the-job injury.
