FIGHTING FOR YOU WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGHEST
What Is Permanent Partial Impairment?
Permanent partial impairment (PPI) is a type of work comp payment that is awarded when an employee is injured or dealing with some type of occupational disease but they are still able to work in a partial capacity. Even though you may be struggling with a semi-debilitating injury or disease, that does not mean you don’t want or need to return to work in the best way you are able to do so.
If your employer will allow you to return to work on a partial basis, you may also be awarded permanent partial impairment compensation to cover the financial holes that a part-time salary cannot fill. If your employer is not finding a way to work with you on these terms, or if the insurance company is refusing to pay your PPI payments, give Wagner Reese a call. Our Indianapolis workplace accident and PPI lawyers can assist you in getting the compensation you deserve to cover your medical expenses and the lost income you are suffering due to only working part-time.
