• Lost Wages: Payments to replace income lost due to your inability to work, typically a percentage of your previous earnings.
• Permanent Impairment Benefits: If your injury results in a permanent disability, you may be entitled to additional benefits.
• Vocational Rehabilitation: Assistance in returning to work, potentially including job training or placement services.
