Workplace injuries are classified as catastrophic or non-catastrophic, depending on the nature of the injury. Catastrophic injuries are those involving:

1. Paralysis
2. Amputations
3. Severe head injuries
4. Blindness
5. Severe Burns
6. Other severe injuries that prevent you from being able to perform your prior work or another job for any employer in the national economy.

Workers’ compensation will pay two-thirds of your gross average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $500 per week, for as long as you are unable to work. Medical treatment is also covered.
