Open the Free CalculatorWhat benefits is a West Valley 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 West Valley 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.
