Does workers comp pay for time lost due to a work related injury?

I am assuming that your workers' compensation claim is covered by the Florida Workers' Compensation Law.  If you were injured in another state, it may not be even though you now live in Florida.  The Florida Workers' Compensation Law provides for certain type of disability compensation payments when the claimant (injured worker) is either off all work by a workers' compensation doctor or given physical restrictions that are such that the employer cannot accommodate him or there is work available within his physical restrictions but on a weekly basis, the work available does not pay at least 80% of the average the claimant was earning before the accident.  So therefore, at this stage to receive workers' compensation disability benefits per Florida law, you must either be off all work by your workers' compensation doctor or on limited duty and not earning as much as 80% of your gross weekly average before your accident.  There is a lot more information and examples about the formula as to how you calculate your workers' compensation rates and how long workers' compensation disability benefits last on my website at www.palsolaw.com.
