In North Carolina, Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits are designed to provide financial assistance to employees who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness.

At The Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping injured workers in North Carolina understand and obtain the Temporary Total Disability benefits they are entitled to under the law. Read on to learn more about TTD Benefits and what you need to prove to qualify.

To qualify for TTD benefits, you must be unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. The injury must result in temporary total disability, meaning you are temporarily unable to perform any type of work for which you are qualified.

TTD benefits are typically provided until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI) or are deemed capable of returning to work in some capacity. In North Carolina, TTD benefits are generally payable for up to 500 weeks from the date of injury, although certain exceptions may apply in cases of severe injuries or disabilities.

TTD benefits are calculated as two-thirds (66.67%) of your average weekly wage (AWW) before the injury, up to a maximum weekly limit set by the North Carolina Industrial Commission. The maximum weekly benefit amount is adjusted annually based on the state's average weekly wage.

To continue receiving TTD benefits, you must provide medical documentation confirming your ongoing inability to work due to a work-related injury or illness. This documentation may include progress reports from treating physicians, diagnostic test results, and other medical evidence supporting the worker's condition.

At Olsinski Law, we understand the importance of TTD benefits in providing financial stability during your recovery period and will do everything possible to connect you with the benefits you deserve.

Charlotte workers may be eligible for TTD benefits under North Carolina's workers' compensation law in various situations where they cannot work due to a work-related injury or illness.

Suppose a Duke Energy employee sustains severe injuries in a workplace accident, such as a fall from a height or an electrical shock, rendering them temporarily unable to perform their duties. In that case, they may be eligible for TTD benefits.

A Lowe's employee diagnosed with a debilitating respiratory illness due to exposure to hazardous materials while working in the company's warehouse may qualify for TTD benefits if the illness prevents them from working during their recovery period.

An Amazon warehouse worker experiencing chronic pain and limited mobility due to repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or back strain from heavy lifting, may be eligible for TTD benefits while undergoing medical treatment and rehabilitation.

In each case, TTD benefits can provide essential financial support to injured workers in Charlotte, helping them cover their living expenses and medical costs while focusing on recovering from their work-related injuries or illnesses.
