Can I get another job?
You are permitted to return to work if you are physically capable of doing
so. Even though your injury may leave you unable to perform your regular
job, you may be capable of performing a lighter-duty job. If that is the
case, the insurance company might offer jobs it thinks you can handle. Or
you might learn of job openings or opportunities on your own. Bear in mind,
though, that the Workers’ Compensation system will pay benefits based
only on the wages you lose.
If you return to work at the same salary you
were earning at the time of your injury, you will not be losing any wages
and you will therefore receive only medical benefits. If you return to work
at a lower salary, Workers’ Compensation may pay you a reduced benefit
depending on the amount of your current earnings, and will continue to pay
the medical bills related to your work injury. |
