If you receive workers’ compensation after a workplace truck accident, you can expect to receive benefits for a variety of different expenses, depending on the insurance company and the extent of the truck accident injury. This can include:
Medical expenses: Workers’ compensation will typically cover your medical bills related to your accident, including hospital stays, doctor’s visits, prescription drugs, and rehabilitative therapy.
Lost wages: If you are unable to work because of your injuries, workers’ compensation can provide you with up to two-thirds of your lost wages.
Permanent disability: If you suffer a permanent disability as a result of your accident, workers’ compensation can provide you with benefits to cover your lost earnings and future medical expenses.
Death benefits: If a workplace accident results in death, workers’ compensation can provide benefits to the deceased worker’s family. These benefits can cover funeral and burial expenses, as well as lost wages and other costs.
