- Temporary Total Benefits in Arizona
Workers compensation coverage provides security for employees who are injured on the job, or in a manner relating to tasks they have performed for their employer. Temporary or total disability benefits also known as temporary total benefits helps workers who were injured or sickened due to work-related events pay for medical costs associated with their injuries, in addition to a number of other benefits they may be eligible for.
In Arizona in 2012, over 3,000 claims for workers compensation benefits were filed, but only 1,784 were approved, the U.S. Department of Labors Office of Workers Compensation Programs reports. This data means that for any number of reasons a legitimate claim of temporary or total disability due to workplace injury may be denied, and the disabled worker will not be provided with any compensation for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, or for wages lost during their time out of work.
The benefits and stipulations surrounding workers compensation benefits vary from state to state, and if a worker is injured on the job and out of work for more than seven days, that employee may be entitled to temporary total disability benefits, under Arizona state law.
Have you or a loved one been denied temporary or total disability benefits due to you under your workers compensation plan? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for a number of hardships that the injury or illness placed on you and your family.

Your Temporary Total Disability Benefits
In the event that a worker is injured on the job, workers compensation extends certain benefits to help shoulder the cost of medical bills, recovery expenses, and lost wages during time away from work.
In the state of Arizona, temporary total disability is defined as an injured worker actively receiving medical treatment for the injury, and not being released by a doctor to do work of any kind. The injured worker will be entitled to receive 66.66% of their average monthly wages at the time of the injury, and they will also receive a dependent allowance of $25 per month, regardless of the number of dependents, which is determined at the time the injury takes place.
These payments come every two weeks, replacing a normal paycheck, and may be subject to a maximum amount. They will continue for the duration of the disability, however, injured workers have the right to receive medical treatment immediately following their injury, regardless of whether their claim is accepted or denied, in the end.
Considerations can sometimes be made for serious facial or head injuries, as well as hearing loss related to the injuries. Other reimbursements for transportation, such as mileage, parking, or toll costs associated with visits to your doctor are possible, depending on the specifics of your case.
If There Is A Problem With Your Temporary Total Disability Claim
Following a workplace injury, if your claim is denied, a worrisome time can be turned into a frightening and confusing experience for your or your loved ones. Many issues can be worked out by contacting the claims administrator that is handling your case, but as the Department of Labors Statistics show, over half of the workmen’s compensation claims are being denied and those workers are not being reimbursed for any of the costs associated with their injury.
Before filing a claim, seek legal counsel, since workers compensation laws can be difficult to understand. Without an attorney, you and your loved ones will be relying on your ability to interpret these laws alone, and misunderstanding legal jargon, or incorrectly filing paperwork can end in your claim for temporary total disability being denied.
In the event your claim is denied, an attorney who is knowledgeable in the workers compensation practice area can prepare you and your family for a case that could result in a recovery of damages that may be owed to you for the expenses that were incurred as a result of the injury, and for lost wages that the injured party is entitled to.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
