What Do Workers’ Compensation Benefits Provide?

When a person is hurt on the job, they are able to recover compensation under workers’ compensation laws in the state of Mississippi. These benefits provide injured workers compensation that is equal to a certain percentage of their earnings. The type of compensation benefit a worker receives depends on the severity of their injuries and their ability to recover.

In general, there are four types of compensation benefits that injured workers can receive. These include:

Temporary Total Disability (TTD)

These personal injury benefits are provided to workers who have suffered an injury or illness that renders them 100% unable to perform the duty of their job for a certain amount of time. Workers can receive compensation throughout their recovery process. However, workers who receive TTD benefits are typically able to return to work eventually.

Temporary Partial Disability (TPD)

These personal injury benefits are provided to workers who are injured on the job but still able to return to their place of employment to perform their job with restrictions. These benefits compensate victims for wages lost due to having to limit the amount of work they can do until they recover.

Permanent Total Disability (PTD)

This award for compensation is provided to workers who are unable to return to work indefinitely due to the personal injury suffered on the job. In some instances, these personal injury benefits are provided to workers who suffer permanent physical impairments that may not completely limit their ability to work.

Permanent Partial Disability (PPD)

Workers can receive these benefits if they are rendered able to work in some capacity following an injury but unable to return to their previous position.

All of these benefits provide victims up to 67% of their weekly earnings or up to $598.37, whichever is lower. These benefits can be provided to injured workers for up to 450 weeks and up to a total of $179,518.50.

In addition to recovering compensation for lost wages, workers are able to receive certain benefits as well. Workers are able to receive medical treatment for their injuries at no cost to them. Workers’ compensation benefits are to provide 100% coverage of all resulting medical bills, the costs of transportation to appointments, and other expenses related to care.

Working with a Starkville personal injury attorney at the Mama Justice law firm can ensure your claim for workers’ compensation benefits is filed in a timely and accurate manner so you can get the benefits and compensation you deserve without having to wait.

Who Qualifies for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

There are various ways that injured workers can qualify for benefits under workers’ compensation laws in Mississippi. In order to recover compensation and benefits, workers need to prove various factors after being harmed in an accident at work. This includes providing evidence that shows:

The employer has a workers’ compensation policy in place to protect workers.
You suffered injuries or a work-related illness during the course of your employment.
You provided your employer a written notice of the injury or illness within 30-days of the accident date or the development of the illness.
You received a medical report detailing the injuries and how they occurred.

About Our Firm

Hello friends and family, I am Missy Wigginton, also known as Mama Justice. When meeting me, some people ask me how I got my name. The answer: I have 2 sons. When they were little, we always had a yard full of kids. All my boys’ friends called me Mama Missy because I made sure they were all fed and had plenty of cool drinks on those hot, southern, summer days. Being a mama is one of the most rewarding and best jobs that God has ever blessed me with.

I am also thankful that God put me in a position where He can use me to help others in very difficult times. I, too, have been in difficult times, the worst of which being when my 25-year-old son left this earth for his heavenly home. Through the trials and tribulations of my loss, God remained faithful. Losing my son taught me that all things that happen in life can be used for good. My job allows me to be Mama Missy not only to my beloved children and grandchildren but to everyone who needs justice. Hence the name, Mama Justice. Although I am familiar with many areas of law, I focus my practice on personal injury cases. I represent injured people in all types of wrecks, accidents and work-related issues. For many folks, a car crash or work-related accident has the potential to turn their lives upside down, leaving them unsure of which direction to turn. When this happens to you, my goal is to help you through your most difficult times and make sure that you are properly represented when dealing with insurance companies. I will take on the headache of dealing with insurance companies so you can focus on getting better. I will personally work your case and ensure that every client stays informed and is treated as a friend and family member here at Mama Justice.
