New Jersey Permanent Disability Benefits

When a work injury results in a permanent partial or permanent total disability, benefits are available to compensate injured people for their losses. The attorneys of Hoyt & Hoyt, P.C. can help you navigate the workers' compensation process and secure the benefits you deserve.

Hoyt & Hoyt, P.C. represents clients throughout the Northern New Jersey region in workers' compensation claims for permanent partial or permanent total disability benefits. Contact their Morristown, New Jersey, law offices today for a free consultation.

As crude as it may seem, partial disability benefits are based on both the "percentage loss of use" and the body part or function affected. For example, a permanent partial arm injury may entitle you to receive up to 330 weeks of disability pay. By contrast, such an injury to a thumb only merits 75 weeks of pay according to the schedule.

If it is medically determined that you are totally disabled and unable to hold any type of job, permanent disability benefits may be awarded to you for an initial period of 450 weeks after which your inability to work would have to be reevaluated by a doctor before benefits could continue beyond that time.

In any case, the experienced lawyers of Hoyt & Hoyt, P.C. will work closely with you throughout the process and will promptly address any questions or concerns that may arise.
