Bronx Lump Sum Settlement Attorneys
Workplace injury victims who seek workers' compensation benefits will encounter many new terms that they are not familiar with. Many of these terms attempt to categorize the nature of the victim's disability and the benefits that person is entitled to, such as permanent partial disability (PPD). At the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, we understand how confusing all of this new terminology can be. When you are in our office speaking with a lawyer, you can expect clear translation of all legalese. We will educate you so you can understand your options and what you are entitled to if you have a permanent partial disability.
What Is a Permanent Partial Disability?
A PPD is a disability that you are not expected to recover from, but is not a complete disability. You may be able to return to some form of work, if not your previous line of work. For example, the loss of use of a finger or a toe would be considered a permanent partial disability.
What Benefits Are Associated With a Permanent Partial Disability?
Of course, you are entitled to medical benefits to help you recover from your injury. You will also be entitled to wage loss benefits. In cases that involve the loss of use of a limb, you may also be entitled to a one-time settlement, which is referred to as a schedule loss award.
Our lawyers have 20 years of experience handling this complex area of the law. We know how to properly review your case and determine the benefits you are entitled to. More importantly, we know the steps that need to be taken to make sure you get all of the benefits you need to recover from your work injury.
