Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas
permanently disabled on job and almost ready to retire
How does one proceed finding out what rules govern workers compensation? Someone is injured on the job with a 30% permanent disability, is 63 years old and due to retire in two years. What are they entitled to through workers comp?

A non-disputed 30% impairment rating will pay 90 weeks of benefits. You may also be entitled to SIBS (ongoing benefits), but I would need more information.
