Permanent Partial ImpairmentPermanent Impairment for Permanent InjuriesHave you been injured at your job? If you have suffered an injury that you will not fully recover from, either partially or totally, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Permanent injuries can dramatically change your life. At the Injured Workers' Law Firm, in Richmond, an attorney will advocate to get you monetary damages. What is a permanent injury?A permanent injury is an injury that you will never fully recover from. It can involve either a permanent partial impairment or a permanent and total disability. Unlike lost wage benefits, the right to compensation for permanent injuries is not related to an inability to work or lost earnings. You can be working full time at your job and still get these benefits. Permanent Partial ImpairmentA permanent partial impairment involves the permanent loss of use of a body part. Vision and hearing loss, as well as disfigurement, may also be eligible for compensation. The permanent damage could be an amputation of a body part or a small loss of range of motion. You can still get benefits for a 2% loss of use of your leg, arm, etc. Injuries to legs, arms, eyes, ears, and even scars are generally considered compensable. Damaged bladders, backs, and necks are excluded from consideration. If your back injury is so severe that it impacts your legs or arms, then you can get benefits. We can advise you about your chances of success. Permanent and Total DisabilityPermanent and total disability refers to losses such as both hands, arms, feet, legs, or eyes, as well as a severe brain injury causing paralysis or disability. Lifetime wage benefits are available in these cases. Let Us Help with the CalculationsCalculations to determine the amount of money you are entitled to can be complicated.
