A: Yes
You will receive pay for your time off from work if you are unable to work due to your injuries or if the doctor assigns medical restrictions due to your injury and your employer is unable to accommodate the restrictions. If you are off work because of a work-related injury, you
are eligible to receive temporary total disability (TTD) benefits to replace your lost wages. You are eligible if you have missed more than three regularly scheduled workdays. If you miss more than two weeks, these first three days, referred to as the waiting period, are paid to you.
Important Tip: Once your doctor gives you medical restrictions, you must give those medical restrictions to your employer or supervisor immediately. Your employer will then decide whether they can provide you with “light” duty or an accommodating position. If your employer
cannot provide an accommodated-work position or “light” duty, then you will get paid by work comp.

The Hein Law Firm is a St. Louis Missouri law firm specializing in serious personal injuries, workers' compensation and immigration. We provide legal assistance with car and truck accident cases and workers compensation cases involving bodily injuries such as amputations, broken bones, ruptured or bulged discs, fractured vertebrae and spinal cord injuries (quadriplegia), and are concerned with providing a broad range of legal services in response to our clients' needs. Because we are a leading bilingual (Spanish-speaking) full-service law firm and lawyers, we also have an active practice in the immigration and international sphere, assisting those from outside the State of Missouri with legal needs inside the State of Missouri.
If you have a serious personal injury, have a family member or friend with a serious personal injury, you need a serious Missouri law firm to fight for you, please contact us any time to discuss your case. To submit your case for a free evaluation please fill out our form. An experienced St. Louis personal injury attorney will promptly reply to your inquiry.
We handle serious personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that you do not have to pay attorneys’ fees unless we recover money for your injuries, lost wages, unpaid medical bills, and other damages. Contingent fees in personal injury cases mean we are on your side, and we are on the same team from the moment you hire us because if we take your case, we will not see any attorneys’ fees until you get your due compensation.
