Re: Returning to work before WC claim is settled

More | Report Post

Hi, Rebecca:

I was approved to go back to work with the restrictions of "no
lifting or reaching" with my injured arm. The WC attorney told
me a person is entitled to WC checks unless they have received
a full and complete release from their doctor to work with no
restrictions.

I've been wondering if I should contact the insurance rep to
request that they do the right thing and re-start the payments
to me starting from the date I was fired and continuing until I
am given a full release by the doctor OR if I should just go
ahead and retain the attorney and risk losing money to her out
of any final settlement.

My brain is going in circles!
