Can I get temporary disability without going through workmans comp?

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.

Need more info to answer accurately.  They can stop payment if the doctor recommended follow up appointments that you didn't keep.  (If you had therapy appointments set up and didn't go, you have stopped medical treatment and they are not liable.)\n\nIf you had a return to work date that you ignored the insurance can stop.  If your doctor said you can return to work under light duty or restricted duty and you didn't call your employer to make arrangements to return you can be cut off as well.\n\nThese issues are pretty uniform throughout the country although it may vary in your state.  Your state may also have specific rules to follow and you may not have followed them.\n\nThe most common reasons the wc gets cut off without notice is a worker failing to continue with medical treatment or failing to return to work as the doctor ordered.  And alas, it is legal.

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 on your employeers policy.  There's NO law requiring comp time, and if you mean comp time as in not being paid OT then that's illegal in most cases.

I am pretty much faced with the same situation.  I have been denied SSI and SSD.  I have reapplied for it.  I too have a physical disablity that is preventing me from doing a job.  I really don't have any answers for you.  I have applied from everything from being a walmart greeter to a receptionist.  I can not do any job where any walking or standing or climbing stairs is involved as I do not have the use of one leg and can not stand, or walk without the assistance of bilateral forearm crutches.  I have been turned down for everything but to prove it is because of the disability is impossible unless they specifically say it is.  I can only suggest you volunteer someplace to see if you can actually do the work.  I would also keep bugging soc. sec. to get you the help that you are requesting.  Don't leave until you get to talk to a person.

It depends on your company's leave policy.  When I was out for surgery I had to use my holiday, vacation and sick days before I could go on disability.  My manager also suggested that I take FMLA.  I declined.  I needed income to pay the rent, utilities and such.  But now after I go off disability, they don't have to hire me back, so make a wise decision, check with your company's HR, read your benefits package carefully.  Not all companys give the same benefits and options vary considerably.\n\nBest of Luck with your Surgery, take care.

I'm no expert on Work Comp in OK (I do know they have some silly rules) but it would seem that they cannot stop your health insurance. You aren't on COBRA. You are still considered an employee and thus if the company pays for its employees health insurance then they must pay for your insurance regardless if you injured. Now, with that being said, what does your employee handbook say about leaves of absence. I would consult HR at your companay.

not only can you collect workmans comp, your employer could get into a lot of trouble for knowingly letting you work without the doctors approval!!!!!

None.  If they have insurance then the insurance company has duties to fulfill for you.  If your employer has no insurance, then you might be able to get something from them in court.  However, if you sue for too much they can claim bankruptcy and you're left with nothing, except your damaged noggin.

The answer is "Depends".\n\nIf you are released from your job, you should be eligible for unemployment benefits. However, when there is an accident involved, it is whether you would go on disability (either short term or long term, I dont know the nature of your injuries). Are you able to return to work in any capacity? If not, then it would most likely be a disability or workman's compensation claim. I dont know what state you are in, but it would depend on the laws involved.

Workers' Comp insurance is for injuries that you sustain from an accident while working or traveling to and from your job. If the injuries sustain effected you dental work, then possibly yes, if the injury was soft tissue to another part of your body, then no. \n\nWith regards to your car, if your car was damaged within the scope of your employment, you would have to check with your auto insurance carrier to ascertain coverage for a rental.\n\nIf you receive a settlement from your Workers' Comp Claim, you can use the money any way you please.

actually I just had a training session on this, if your carpal tunnel is permananent they have to treat it as a disability, however if it is a temporary condition usually compared to a broken leg, then your employer is required to make reasonable accomodation for you. As far as other employers when asked why you need to explain. If you are the best qualified then you should be hired, I think you and the poster that was fired after the 12 weeks needs to contact the EEOC and have them do an investigation. Most companies do not want to have them involved and are ready to settle, also FYI if they are found negligible you are eligible for $300,000 for each incident.

You have the right to work till they tell you to stop, If injured on the job, they will provide medical care until its fixed or u reach Maximum Medical improvement. They will pay u 80% of your salery up to 2 weeks and then 100% after that till u reach MMI, based on the % of impairment, you will most likely get 3 checks for each 1% of impairment.  Hope that helped, Be prepaird to fight all the way

Can you listen to an iPod while working?  Try some soothing music or books on tape.  \n\nIf it gets too bad, scream loudly, grab your back, fall on the floor and file a claim for workman's comp.
