I have been a workers' comp. paralegal for 20 years - IN VIRGINIA.  Here you are entitled to 2/3 of your weekly pre-injry gross wages if you cannot work at all.  If you can work light duty and you have a wage loss, then you are entitled to 2/3rds of the difference between what you were making before you got hurt (average weekly wage gross) and what you are earning after the injury.  BUT-laws vary widely from state to state.  I'd go to Ask.Com and look up the California Workers' Compensation Commission or Industrial Commission.  All states have these websites and I'm sure the info. that applies to you is on there.  Good luck, and I hope you are better soon.

herniated disc 10-12-01. GET A LAWYER! the fact the injury happened on the job is the real issue, not weather or not you are working there now. If wc paid once they will continue until your doctor releases you. If you need surgery find as much about the surgeon as possible. Alot of times ins companies give you to the lowest bidder so be careful. Keep in touch if you need anything, I'm on messenger. Its good to know that you did report it, and start treatment.

Hi  Workmans comp companies would have studies like that. But remember, they want to get you back to work quickly. Even some doctors will send you back quick because they get alot of money from companies. But each case can be alittle different.

Worker's Comp covers only injuries from on-the-job work or (in some cases) on-the-job situations that has exasperated a current injury.\n\nDo not file a claim on something you think MAY happen.  All claims are marked and if something does actually happen on the job, a good WC coordinator will look up any past claims you've made.  You do not want to be flagged as a WC "player".\n\nIf you think the injury is caused at work, file first, see the Doc after, UNLESS it is a very dangerous injury.\n\n(As a side note, your injury does NOT have to be so severe it stops you from work.  WC also covers Dr. visits, even if they do not lead to light duty or termination of work)

if you file a workers comp claim and they denied it saying it was not work related or anything like that...you can filing your injuries with your health insurance.  there should be no reason why they wouldn't cover it, as long as you have some type of denial letter from the worker's comp company.  if you are asking if there is something further you can do for your workers comp case...depends on the state...trying seeing your state's department of insurance for them to tell you what rights you have and what next step you could take.

You usually can't pass a medical admission test for firefighter, police officer, public safety type stuff because it's reasonable to consider that there are risks involved in the above professions and it's reasonable to reduce the risks by denying employment.\n\nBut once you're in, they usually let you get injured and come back to work after the accident/surgery, etc., along with mental illnesses that are treatable. Even alcoholic doctors and nurses can get another chance if they're not too stupid to begin with.\n\nYou could even make a case that you'd be BETTER equiped after a surgery than before hand.\n\nI couldn't become an army flightnurse after my radial keratotomy. But if I was ALREADY a flightnurse, they wouldn't have cared.\n\nThe whole basis of decision is transfer and assumption of risk. Like getting married...

I'm not sure what the legislation is like where you are from, but in Ontario, Canada you can be compensated for this.\nAs long as your doctor can prove that your work caused your CTS then you can be compensated for it. CTS is also a specific injury to the median nerve in your wrists (whereby it affects the muscles), so if those aren't directly affected you cannot be diagnosed with CTS. \nI'm also not really sure about taking "legal action" against your employer. The basic reason a compensation board exists is to protect a worker AND the employer. It protects the worker by allowing them to keep their job if they are injured on the job (in the "olden days" workers would lose their jobs if they attempted to put the blame on their employers for an injury), on the other hand, it also protects the employer by compensating workers without worrying about being sued if an injury were to arise.\nIt's best to check this out with your local compensation board. In Canada, each province has their own.\nAlso, recognizing that you might get CTS due to your work is a great step is realizing that your workstation needs to be readjusted (see Ergonomics). If your workstation is giving you pain by the end of the day, ask your supervisor or HR to have an ergonomic assessment done to readjust everything in your workplace, this will help to make things more comfortable for you. And if they don't agree to that, kindly remind them that if your problem gets worse you WILL seek compensation for it and that equals lost time from work!

Ha Ha Ha, there isn't any Workman's comp. I was hurt for over a year, and I filed for Workman's comp because you have that right to, but they wouldn't pay for anything. The Deal is now since the president made the new you can't sue any one law. This was at the top of the list. The provisions only protect the companies from you the employee from suing them. You would only receive 2/3 of your original wages anyway. You will have to get a lawyer to pursue it, and they are going to take part of the recovery. This was the plan to keep people from filing. You would end up with nothing in the end, and most likely sued by someone over medical bills. I had to go on Medicaid to be able to seek medical help for my injuries, and not be sued by the hospitals and doctors. Crazy "HUH", I still haven't gotten anything from Workman's comp today. It has been almost 2 years.

NO you need a lawyer. Or you can go back to your doctor get a statement saying a week off and then file for workers comp.

My advice would be to contact an attorney...possibly 2 different kinds or if one of the attorneys deals with both personal injury and workers compensation....I had a deal with a MAJOR health insurance company and I obtained a workers compensation attorney almost immediately...Yes you do have rights....good question

I think it would depend on the reason your husband fell.  Was the company negligent in safety proceedures and that caused the fall, or did he merely trip over an untied shoelace, pebble, or other thing that was out of the control of the company?  \n\nAnother consideration:  if the company is large enough to have a slew of lawyers your suit could be tied up in litigation for years costing you substantially in legal fees.  \n\nIf your husband applies for a job elsewhere down the road and they do a background check, not only will the workers comp show up, so will the lawsuit.  It would raise a lot of red flags to potential future employers.\n\nI would think long and hard before I brought any legal action, especially if the company is taking care of its responsibilities now.

I had a friend injured while engaged in a work related situation, and she went from regular employee to Worker's Comp.  If your husband has been turned into Worker's Comp, it's a different type of classification. They do have Worker's Comp attorneys and you might want to consult with one to determine your situation.

If a doctor has released you to go back to your job, but there is no work, that means you are laid-off, or unemployed, so you should be able to collect unemployment.  You should have gotten a works man's comp for the time you missed while injured!  If you suspect that they are not letting you back for a reason, then maybe you should see a lawyer!

It depends.  If you had a work related injury, then you must file a workers compensation claim.  If you are unable to work for and injury or a disability other than work related, than you are entitled to state disability benefits.
