A person suffering a workplace injury may be unable to return to their job for a period of time. Temporary partial disability (TPD) is a type of workers\u2019 compensation benefit that aims to cover your income losses due to these types of injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Qualifying for TPD can be challenging, but with the guidance of a workers\u2019 compensation attorney<\/a>, you will have the ability to pursue a claim. <\/span><\/p>\n

Speak with a <\/span>lawyer<\/span><\/a> from DiMarco | Arajuo | Montevideo about your case today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Temporary<\/p>\n

How to Qualify for TPD<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To qualify for TPD, you must suffer an injury or illness directly related to your work<\/a>. That injury makes it impossible for you to do the work you were doing at the time of the accident. This means you cannot do your normal work duties while you are recovering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Temporary partial disability benefits occur when you can still work, but you cannot do the same job you were doing, and as a result, you are earning less than you did prior to your injury. This benefit means you can receive money to cover your losses even as you engage in light-duty work for your employer. That light-duty work must be within the scope required by your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modifications to Your Job<\/strong><\/h2>\n

TPD benefits occur when you can still do work, but you cannot do the same work. For example, you may not be able to do the same level of work at full pay with the restrictions your employer places on you. Your employer may reduce your hours or may even reduce the rate of pay you earn while you are healing. That means you lose financial compensation you would otherwise earn.<\/span><\/p>\n

With TPD, you will receive a portion of that difference in earnings, helping you to maintain more of your livelihood and manage financial responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much You Receive with TPD<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Under<\/span> Nevada law<\/span><\/a>, temporary partial disability will allow you to collect two-thirds of your average monthly rate. The payment is the difference between what you would be earning if you were totally disabled (TTD) and what you are making now. Since workers\u2019 compensation disability benefits pay at a rate of two-thirds of what you earn, that is the maximum you can recover after an accident. But if you can work light duty, you will see a reduction in that based on the amount you can earn on light duty.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your employer cannot modify the job for you or continue to provide work to you due to your injuries and the modifications your employer sets, you do not qualify for TPD. You may be able to receive temporary disability benefits that cover the full 2\/3 of your wages. This can be a challenging area of workers\u2019 compensation law. Your employer may not want to pay you for any work, or you may not want to work and not earn what you were. With the help of an attorney, you can seek out the best possible solution.<\/span><\/p>\n
