Am I entitled to receive any money from my work-place injury?
In Texas, if the employer has workers' compensation insurance, you may be entitled to the following types of indemnity benefits:
- Temporary Income Benefits (TIBs): You may be able to get temporary income benefits (TIBs) if your work-related injury or illness causes you to lose some or all of your wages.
- Impairment Income Benefits (IIBs): You may get Impairment Income Benefits (IIBs) if a doctor determines that your work-related injury or illness resulted in a permanent impairment.
- Supplemental Income Benefits (SIBs): If you receive an impairment rating of 15% or higher, you may be able to get Supplemental Income Benefits (SIBs). These benefits are paid monthly if you are unable to work or can show that you are looking for work.
- Lifetime Income Benefits (LIBs): You may be able to get benefits for the rest of your life if you sustained a qualifying injury.
