Workplace injuries are classified as catastrophic or non-catastrophic for purposes of workers' compensation. Catastrophic injuries are those involving:

• Amputations
• Severe paralysis
• Severe head injures
• Severe burns
• Blindness
• Other severe injuries that prevent you from being able to perform your prior work or another job for any employer

Workers' compensation will pay two-thirds your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $500, for as long as you are unable to return to work. Medical and vocational rehabilitation benefits are also covered.
