What benefits is a St. George 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 St. George 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 St. George Workers

No. You can file your workers' compensation claim by mail or online with the Utah Labor Commission. If your case requires a formal hearing, the Commission can schedule it regionally — you don't always have to travel to Salt Lake City. The first step is just notifying your employer in writing within 180 days.

Yes. Utah workers' compensation covers virtually all employees, including hotel staff, restaurant workers, retail, and tour guides. Common hospitality claims include slip-and-fall, lifting injuries, burns (kitchen workers), and repetitive trauma from cleaning. The CVR calculator works the same way regardless of industry.

Construction is the highest-risk industry. If you were hurt on a St. George area job site, you're entitled to: (1) TTD = 66.67% of your average weekly wage while you're off work; (2) PPD if you have a permanent impairment; (3) medical care with no out-of-pocket cost; (4) mileage reimbursement for trips to medical appointments. Use the calculator for your specific numbers.

Many Utah workers' comp attorneys serve Washington County remotely (most communication is by phone, email, and mail). You can browse our Utah attorney directory filtered by region. Most offer free consultations and work on contingency (no fee unless you win), capped at 25% by Utah law.

You can appeal directly to the Utah Labor Commission. Approximately 67% of denied claims succeed when properly reviewed. Your deadline to file an Application for Hearing is 1 year from your last benefit payment or from the date of injury. An attorney is highly recommended for denied claims.

No — Utah Code 34A-2-114 makes retaliation illegal anywhere in Utah. If your employer fires, demotes, or harasses you for filing a workers' comp claim, you may have a separate retaliation lawsuit on top of your workers' comp case.
