Call Wagner Reese & Crossen and speak to a qualified a disability benefits attorney and ensure you get the maximum compensation that you deserve.
Injured workers are entitled to temporary total disability (TTD) benefits after a work injury leaves them unable to work. This benefit is paid at two-thirds of the employee's average weekly wage (AWW). These benefits continue until the treating doctor allows the injured worker to return to work, either full duty or light duty.

Experience counts
After the employee returns to work, he or she can receive temporary partial disability (TPD) benefits if the doctor orders a part time or light duty assignment, which results in the employee earning less than their normal weekly wage. The Indiana lawyers at Wagner Reese & Crossen have handled thousands of disability benefits, worker's comp claims since 1997, including many involving temporary total and partial disability benefits.
