Unfortunately, workers' compensation law does not provide any sort of remedy for pain and suffering associated with your work injury. Workers' compensation law does not provide any monetary relief for the general disruption of your lifestyle and the aggravation or inconvenience which was caused by your work injury. This is obviously a very difficult reality to face, because oftentimes the financial remedies that are provided by the law don't come close to compensating you for the difficulties faced after a life-changing injury.
If you've sustained a work injury, there are only three kinds of relief that can be provided in a workers' compensation context: (1) lost wages (TTD or TPD benefits); (2) permanent impairment of physical capabilities (PPD benefits); and (3) medical care.
