Permanent loss of, or loss of use of, one or more body part(s) of an employee with a compensable work-related injury or occupational disease. If it is determined by the attending physician at the time of the employee's maximum medical improvement that a Permanent Partial Disability exists, that employee is eligible to receive Permanent Partial Disability benefits.
Permanent loss of any body part, one eye, one limb or one finger or a toe, or injuries that render the insured in capable of earning an income from the date of the accident onwards from any work, occupation or profession. While the loss of the body part may be permanent , its effects on the insured’s life are partial.
Under workers' compensation insurance, it is a condition which actually or presumptively results in partial loss of earning power.
PPD benefits are payable, in most jurisdictions, to an employee who has sustained a permanent, but not complete, disability. Many state statutes have pre-set values for a host of different PPD injuries involving specific body parts or conditions.
Part of the employee's wage-earning capacity has been permanently lost on the job. Benefits are payable as long as the partial disability exists, except for schedule loss of use. If there are no reduced earnings as the result of the partial disability, only medical benefits are payable.
A condition where the injured party's earning capacity is impaired for life, but he is able to work at reduced efficiency.
Generally means that the injured worker cannot return to the same type of work that he was doing before his injury and that he has a permanent impairment which limits his ability to do the work that he was doing before the accident.
workers’ compensation benefits are paid when an injured worker sustains a permanent disability after suffering an on-the-job injury. PPD benefits are paid after the end of payment of healing period benefits. PPD benefits can be either “scheduled member disabilities†or “whole body disabilitiesâ€.
