Permanent Disability can be partial or total. It is a disability from work or affecting work so as to cause wage loss. Permanent Partial disability is, by far, the most common type  of disability. It means that a person can presently work but that the injury has a permanent chance to affect wage-earning capacity in the future. It is normally paid in a lump sum. Permanent Total Disability means that a person can't go back to work in a real job, now or ever. There’s a reason that workers’ compensation exists – work injuries are common in virtually every workplace, no matter where you work. However, some are more serious than others, and some may even cause you to lose the ability to perform your job. When this happens, you may be deemed eligible for permanent total disability payments. This means that you are totally unable to do your job, and it pays you compensation because you can’t work; this can be for life. Total disability affects the entire family, robbing you of your ability to buy groceries, pay bills, and more. Call Bucklin Law Office for an evaluation of your claim today!
