What benefits is a Sandy 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 Sandy 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 Sandy Workers

Three actions today: (1) Get medical care and tell the provider it's a work injury. (2) Report to your employer in writing — text or email works, just save proof. (3) Use our free calculator before talking to the insurance adjuster.

Slip and falls, repetitive strain, lifting injuries — all covered under Utah workers' comp regardless of fault. You can be 100% responsible and still get TTD (66.67% of lost wages), PPD for permanent impairment, and 100% of medical care.

In Utah, the employer can choose the initial treating physician. However, if you're unhappy with the treatment, you can request a change. For serious injuries, getting a second opinion from an independent doctor often results in a fairer impairment rating.

Report to your employer within 180 days. To file the formal claim with the Utah Labor Commission, you generally have 1 year from the injury or last benefit payment. Don't wait — late reports are the #1 reason claims get denied.

The Utah Labor Commission, Industrial Accidents Division in Salt Lake City handles all Sandy-area cases. You can file online or by mail. Most workers don't need to attend in person unless there's a hearing.
