No. Unlike a non-industrial personal injury accident, there is no wage loss paid or payment for your pain and suffering. You will receive temporary total disability (TTD) which is 2/3rd of your gross weekly wage up to a maximum limit, if your claim is accepted by the insurance company and you are unable to return to work while you receive medical treatment. TTD payments only last for either 104 weeks , until you return to work or a doctor states you Have reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).
