What Is A Permanent Wage Differential?

The most significant part of any injury is the physical consequences. If you have a permanent injury, you may never regain the mobility or quality of life you once had. The financial challenges associated with these injuries only exacerbate the hardship you face.

You may struggle to find a job that uses your career skills. You may not be able to go back to work full-time and will be forced to limit your work week to part-time hours. These limitations will ultimately limit your ability to earn the income you once had – something we call a permanent wage differential.

If you are able to return to work after a workplace injury but are facing a permanent reduction in wages, you may be able to use workers’ compensation benefits in some manner to make up the difference. This can be a complicated process, so make sure you have an experienced lawyer working with you to develop and present your case.
