The first thing you should know is that your right to temporary total disability (ttd) benefits or temporary partial disability (tpd) benefits stops once you have reached maximum medical improvement.

Next, if you have suffered a permanent physical restrictions, you will be given an impairment rating given your permanent limitations. If you permanent injury is to your neck, back, shoulders, hips or some physical/pain disorder which effects the effective functioning of your body as a whole, we look to see if you can return to your previous job given your permanent restrictions.
