Workers CompensationQuestion 492 of 531
A warehouse worker breaks a leg on the job, cannot work at all for ten weeks, and then returns to his old job fully recovered. His disability is classified as:
a.Temporary partial disability
b.Temporary total disability
c.Permanent total disability
d.Permanent partial disability
Explanation
Temporary means the impairment is expected to end, and total means the worker can perform no work while it lasts. Both are true here, so this is temporary total, the classification behind most indemnity payments. Temporary partial would describe a worker who comes back at lighter duty and lower pay while still healing, which is not what happened.
