Lost Wages (TTD)
Getting Compensation For Lost Wages
If you have suffered a work injury that has caused you to miss time at work, you have the right to seek compensation for lost wages in the form of temporary total disability (TTD) benefits.
The law firm of Keefe & Griffiths has spent more than 50 years helping injured workers throughout Illinois and Missouri. You can be certain that we can help you get the compensation you need to cover lost wages.
Do TTD Benefits Cover All Lost Wages?
Temporary total disability benefits cover two thirds of your average weekly wage, tax free. You can only receive these benefits if you are actively being treated for your work injury and the doctor has ordered you not to return to work, or to a restricted duty that your employer won’t provide.
Common Issues that Need to Be Addressed
Getting compensation for lost wages can be a complex process. Factors that need to be taken into consideration include:
- Is your job full-time or part-time?
- Do you have more than one job?
- Is overtime included?
- How long have you worked at your job?
Our attorneys know how to consider every factor. We know how to pursue every opportunity to get you maximum compensation for lost wages.
Getting Fair Compensation
Unfortunately, one of the biggest obstacles to obtaining fair compensation for lost wages is often the employer.
Employers frequently make mistakes, either on purpose in order to avoid having to pay or accidentally because they don't understand how to calculate benefits.
We will not allow any mistake to be overlooked. Our lawyers will find them and see that they are fixed.
