What’s all this TTD, TPD, PPD, and PTD about in a Workers’ Compensation Case?

·         You may have heard these terms being thrown around and wondered what they mean.

·         TTD, or temporary total disability, is the most common of the 4 terms because it is paid to an injured employee who is placed off work by their treating physician and it is calculated by taking 2/3 of the employee’s average weekly wage; however, these payments do not last forever.

·         TPD is temporary partial disability and is a bit less common.

·         If there is any permanent damage caused by the work injury, the employee may be entitled to permanent partial disability (PPD) or permanent total disability (PTD).
