What Benefits Can You Receive?

Under Mississippi law, injured workers may be eligible for the following benefits:

Medical Benefits

Workers’ compensation covers all necessary medical treatment related to your workplace injury. This includes hospital visits, doctor appointments, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, and medical equipment. However, disputes often arise when insurance companies attempt to limit or deny coverage. We fight to ensure you receive proper medical care without unnecessary delays.

Temporary Total Disability (TTD)

If your injury prevents you from working for more than five days, you may qualify for TTD benefits. This compensation typically covers two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to a state-mandated limit.

Permanent Disability Benefits

In cases where a worker suffers a permanent injury that impacts their ability to work, they may be eligible for additional compensation based on the severity and long-term impact of their condition.

Vocational Rehabilitation

If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job, workers’ compensation may cover vocational training to help you find suitable employment.

Death Benefits

If a worker tragically loses their life due to a workplace injury, their dependents may be entitled to death benefits, including funeral expenses and financial support.
