Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Lexington, Kentucky

Workplace injuries are a serious issue. When a worker suffers injuries on the job, they may be rendered unable to work for a substantial period of time, costing them income when they can least afford it. The costs of medical treatment in these situations can place workers and their families in a precarious financial position. Fortunately, workers’ compensation benefits can help alleviate some of these problems.

How Kentucky Calculates Workers’ Comp Benefits

There are several types of workers’ compensation benefits you might qualify for, starting with compensation for lost wages while you are recovering and unable to work. Generally, you receive 66.67% of your average weekly salary, up to a set maximum amount. You can also be approved for medical benefits.

If you reach maximum recovery of your work-related injury and are still disabled, you might qualify for permanent partial or total disability.
