At Almagno Law, we help injured workers pursue Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) benefits with skilled, results-driven advocacy—ensuring fair compensation for lasting injuries, wage loss, and the challenges of returning to work.
The term “permanent partial disability” (PPD) describes a long-term impairment brought on by an occupational disease or workplace accident that does not totally stop an employee from working. A worker with PPD can still do some work, but their abilities will be permanently limited, in contrast to a worker with total disability, who may never be able to return to work. These benefits are intended to cover the long-term effects of the injury and the diminished earning potential.
Examples of PPD:
Living with a Permanent Partial Disability often brings lasting challenges beyond the initial injury. Even though many injured workers can return to some form of employment, the long-term effects of their condition can impact their health, finances, and quality of life.
