What benefits is a Orem 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 Orem 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 Orem Workers

Three things, in order: (1) See a doctor today — tell them it was a work injury. (2) Notify your employer in writing within 180 days (sooner is better). (3) Run your numbers in our calculator before accepting any insurance settlement.

All Utah workers' comp claims go to the Utah Labor Commission, Industrial Accidents Division in Salt Lake City — including Orem cases. You can file by mail or online.

It depends on your average weekly wage, how long you're off work, and your permanent impairment rating (if any). A typical 10% impairment case for a \$1,000/week worker runs around \$50,000–\$80,000 total (TTD + PPD + medical). Use the calculator for your exact numbers.

No. Utah Code 34A-2-114 makes retaliation illegal. If they fire you, you may have an additional case beyond workers' comp.

For minor injuries and a cooperative employer — usually not. For denied claims, serious injuries, or insurance lowballing — yes. Utah caps attorney fees at 25%, paid only if you win.
