    What happens if your doctor says you may never be able to work again after a serious workplace injury? In this episode of the Ty Wilson Law Podcast, Georgia workers’ compensation attorney Ty Wilson explains what permanent and total disability can mean for your claim—and why your medical restrictions, age, education, and work history may all play a role in determining your future benefits. Ty also discusses the difference between catastrophic and non-catastrophic workers’ compensation claims, including how lifetime medical benefits and weekly income benefits may apply in catastrophic cases.
