\"Have<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve recently suffered some type of personal injury<\/a> on the job, you likely have a lot of questions racing through your mind. Luckily, Aiello Law Group<\/a> is the one place where you can always find fast answers to the questions you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve Been Injured, Now What?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The time immediately following your injury<\/a> will likely be your most stressful since you\u2019re stuck in a position you\u2019ve never been in before, and you don\u2019t know what to do. However, this is the time when you need to stay calm. All you need to remember to do are simply to make sure you notify your employer that you\u2019ve been injured<\/a>, and make sure you start the workers. compensation<\/a> claims process. That\u2019s really it \u2013 though the claims process itself is easier said than done.<\/p>\n

Do You Qualify For Workers Compensation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In short, absolutely! So long as you are an employee of a legitimate company and get a W-2, and you have not waived your rights by signing any sort of documents that claim you\u2019re not technically an official employee, you are entitled to workers’ compensation<\/a> benefits.<\/p>\n

What Is Your Employer Responsible For?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an employee, your employer is responsible for offering you certain benefits to accommodate your injuries<\/a>. These often include wage loss benefits that equate to 80% of your after-tax earnings with overtimes and bonuses included, any and all medical treatment<\/a> you need, and vocational rehabilitation to help you return to the workforce faster.<\/p>\n

Will\/Can Your Employer Hold Your Job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because your injury<\/a> will prevent you from being able to return to your job anytime in the near future, there is no guarantee your job will be waiting for you when you\u2019re better. Employers retain the right to fire, lay off, or adjust responsibilities for employees at any time, including while you\u2019re receiving workers’ compensation<\/a>. Your best option for avoiding it is simply to maintain good communication with your employer and express your specific concerns and desires.<\/p>\n

Can Your Be Forced To Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While it may be true that no one can force you to work any position that disregards the restrictions set by your doctor, you will need to accept any \u201creasonable employment,\u201d such as light duty<\/a>, offered if you want to hold onto your wage loss benefits. Just keep in mind employers will often use this as an opportunity to make an employee so miserable they just quit and forfeit their benefits instead, so be weary, and don\u2019t be afraid to report any pain your accommodated employment inflicts.<\/p>\n

Where Can You Get Help?<\/strong><\/p>\n
