What benefits is a Utah injured worker entitled to?

Under Utah Code Title 34A, Chapter 2, an injured worker may be entitled to four categories of benefits, depending on the case:

1. Lost Wage Benefits (TTD / TPD)

If your injury keeps you out of work, Utah pays Temporary Total Disability (TTD) at 66.67% of your Average Weekly Wage, capped at the State Average Weekly Wage. If you return to work but earn less because of restrictions, you may qualify for Temporary Partial Disability (TPD).

2. Permanent Partial Disability (PPD)

Once your condition stabilizes, your treating physician assigns an impairment rating. Utah PPD is calculated as: impairment % × 312 weeks × benefit rate. Most Utah cases settle here. The CVR calculator computes this automatically.

3. Medical Benefits

Workers' compensation pays 100% of authorized medical care related to the injury — no deductibles, no copays. This includes doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, and prosthetics. You also get reimbursed for medical mileage.

4. Permanent Total Disability (PTD)

If you cannot return to any work due to the injury, you may qualify for PTD — weekly benefits paid for life. Utah law also has statutory PTD for permanent loss of both hands, both eyes, both legs, or any combination thereof.

Workers' Comp Questions from Utah Workers

Utah workers' compensation has four main benefit categories:

• Temporary Total Disability (TTD) = 66.67% of Average Weekly Wage, capped at the State Average Weekly Wage.
• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) = 66.67% of (pre-injury wage − reduced earnings).
• Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) = impairment rating % × 312 weeks × benefit rate.
• Medical and travel = 100% of authorized care + IRS-rate mileage.

The CVR calculator runs all four for you.

The maximum weekly benefit is tied to the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) in effect on your date of injury. As of July 1, 2025, the Utah Labor Commission publishes annual rates in their Quick Reference Guide. The CVR calculator automatically applies the correct year-of-injury rate.

You must notify your employer in writing within 180 days of the injury (Utah Code 34A-2-407). To file a formal claim with the Utah Labor Commission, you generally have 1 year from the injury date or last benefit payment. Don't wait — late reporting is the #1 reason claims get denied.

Not always. Simple cases with no impairment and a cooperative employer often settle without an attorney. But if your claim is denied, the insurance company offers a low settlement, or you have a serious impairment (PPD or PTD), an attorney typically recovers significantly more than workers who go alone. Most Utah workers' comp attorneys work on contingency — no fee unless you win, capped at 25% by Utah law.

Utah recognizes five claim types under Utah Code 34A-2:

1. Industrial Accident Claim — single workplace event (fall, lifting, machinery).
2. Repetitive Injury Claim — carpal tunnel, herniated disc, rotator cuff.
3. Harmful Exposure Claim — chemical, biological, environmental.
4. Permanent Total Disability (PTD) — cannot return to any work.
5. Death Claim — surviving spouse and dependents.

No. Utah Code 34A-2-114 makes retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim illegal anywhere in Utah. If your employer fires, demotes, or harasses you for filing, you may have an additional retaliation case beyond the workers' comp claim itself.

Yes. CVR's calculator applies the same Utah Labor Commission rates regardless of city, because Utah workers' compensation law is statewide. We have dedicated resource pages for Provo, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and St. George, but the calculator works for any Utah city.
