What benefits is a Park City 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 Park City 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 Park City Workers

Yes. Utah requires WC coverage for almost all employees, including seasonal and part-time. If the resort issues you a W-2 or 1099 as an employee, you're covered. Even temporary J-1 visa workers are covered.

If the injury happened while teaching, training, or performing work duties — yes. WC covers medical, lost wages (TTD), and any permanent impairment (PPD). Slip-and-fall, equipment failure, or skiing-on-the-clock all qualify.

You still have rights even if paid cash. Utah's Uninsured Employers Fund covers workers whose employers illegally don't carry WC. File anyway — the system protects you.

A back injury with surgery for a \$900/week worker can value \$45,000–\$80,000 (TTD + PPD + medical). Ski instructor / heavy-labor cases with higher impairment can exceed \$100,000.

Utah. The injury occurred here, so Utah WC law applies. File with the Utah Labor Commission. You can file online from anywhere.
