Return to Work Lawyer
Employers and their insurers aggressively push injured workers back to work. Modified-duty assignments, light-duty positions, and vocational rehabilitation are used to reduce or eliminate wage-loss benefits — sometimes before the worker is medically ready.
The Legal Detail
Your treating physician’s restrictions control what you can and cannot do. If your employer ignores those restrictions or the assigned position does not respect them, you may be entitled to refuse and keep your benefits. We handle the medical documentation and legal arguments that defeat bad-faith return-to-work tactics.
State-Specific Procedures
Pennsylvania: Bureau of Workers’ Compensation claim petition, heard by a Workers’ Compensation Judge. New Jersey: claim petition in the Division of Workers’ Compensation, mandatory mediation. New York: C-3 Employee Claim, judge hearings through the Workers’ Compensation Board. Maryland: Claim Form filing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
