Workers' compensation insurance provides replacement income, medical expenses and some rehabilitation benefits (job training, vocational schooling or job placement assistance). If you are temporarily unable to work, you should receive two-thirds of your average wage (up to a fixed amount). These payments are smaller but they are tax-free. If you are permanently disabled, you may receive long-term or lump sum benefits. These amounts of payment vary with the type and severity of your injuries.

Teddy & Meekins attorneys know your workers' compensation rights and how to fight to get you the money and benefits you deserve. If you have been injured on the job, contact us immediately.
