Consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The injury must happen within the course and scope of your employment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your doctor certifies that you cannot work your job due to your injuries. That includes that your employer cannot accommodate modified work for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The workers\u2019 compensation claim has been accepted, indicating that the accident was work-related.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must miss more than three days of work or require an overnight hospitalization due to the injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe you meet these qualifications, you may be able to seek a claim for TTD. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/workers-compensation-attorney.html\">workers\u2019 compensation attorney<\/a> can help you to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What TTD Benefits Include<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are eligible for TTD in Nevada, you can receive two-thirds of your average weekly wages for the length of time you qualify. Maximum benefits are applicable. Your attorney will go over what your right to compensation is in these cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, to determine the value of your recovery of losses, workers\u2019 compensation considers the previous 12 weeks of work history. You are paid 66 2\/3 of that value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits will continue until your doctor releases you from care. For example, if you are unable to work for a month and your doctor says you can return, the benefits will pay you for that missed time. However, there are other considerations here. For example, if your employer offers you work that accommodates the restrictions your doctor sets, you may be able to return to work and no longer receive TTD benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IN some situations, you may reach maximum medical improvement, meaning you are no longer likely to see improvement in your injuries. Your benefits will stop at that point for permanent disability consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Get TTD Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suffer an injury at work, you can seek medical care right away. Document what happened, and be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/what-is-the-time-limit-for-filing-a-nevada-work-injury-claim\/\">inform your employer about your injuries immediately<\/a>. Then, follow your doctor\u2019s recommendations for care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will then submit a workers\u2019 compensation claim that demonstrates your doctor\u2019s restrictions on your return to work. The insurance company will review your case, ask questions, and then grant you compensation while you heal. Keep in mind that you will likely need to meet with a workers\u2019 compensation medical provider to verify the accuracy of your injuries and limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Getting Legal Guidance Can Minimize Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victims of workplace accidents often face serious risks to receiving compensation, including temporary total and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/temporary-partial-disability-benefits.html\">temporary partial disability claims<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are unable to receive compensation for any reason or are unsure how to apply for benefits, contact DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/contact.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free consultation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
