I am familiar with NY workers comp. Glad to have the chance to help. \nNY Workers Comp is VERY different than other states.  \n1 - NO - I would NOT return to work without your doctor's release.  Here are some reasons why: \n1 - You may subject yourself to further injury.  \nThe doctor has a reason why he/she has not released you to work yet. \nIn NY, especially for a "whole person" type of injury (back or neck), if you are out of work for longer than 2 years (if I recall), then you may qualify for lifetime benefits!  \nOf course, when you do go back to work, or if your physical limitations improve, the payment rate may be reduced.      \n2 - IF your employer happens to have a specific company policy allowing them to fire you because of a company violation, AND if premature Return To Work is documented, you may be at risk of being fired, and may FORFEIT your entitlement to receive additional TTD benefits. \n\nPlease be careful in your decisions so you do not short-change your entitlement to benefits. \n\nIf you want to view a Forum type discussion visit http://www.Prairielaw.com\nor if you want workers' comp resources try visiting http://www.GettingWorkersComp.com\n   \nGood luck!

Every state has there own version of workers comp laws which in my opinion is utterly ridiculous however, most seem to have a common guideline.\nIn NYS, you are entitled to your own physician and his/her decisions and treatment generally prevail. However, the state permits IME's for the insurance companies to which they have abused the privilage beyond comprehension! In most instances, the judges will rule in favor of your physician but we do have a couple of "insurance" judges hearing cases and filling their pockets as we all know how the system works!\nI would complain LOUDLY to my own doctor and request an MRI and possibly a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in that field.\nDO NOT LET THE INSURANCE COMPANY DOCTOR TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE!!!!! He gets paid by the insurance company so he is naturally going to write what they would like to hear! It is his "bread and butter" to which he could care less about you! It's sort of the "American" way---MONEY FIRST-MORALS LATER!!!!Keep in mind you are putting your future in someone elses hands that has one thought and one thought only---MONEY!!!!!!\nYou have an entire life ahead of you that this injury may come back to haunt you in the future so make darn sure you take that in to account NOW!!!! STAND YOUR GROUND! GET A COMP ATTORNEY ASAP!!!!!!

Oh darlin- good luck to you!  I just went thru this whole damn thing!  I had injured both my hands in a fall and ended up out of work for 3 months.  I got fired for missing work!  NICE huh?  Well after being out 3 months I found a new job and was doing great at first and ended up making my hands even worse and I just had double hand surgery!  I did luck out and get the first employer to pay for it plus benefits but I had to get an attorney to do that much!  Good luck to u!

A "Work Related" injury is an injury or illness that is caused-by or aggravated by your work.  Repetitive motion may be considered as a work-related injury BUT there are conditions, i.e. If you file a claim for a hand injury, but your job does not require much use of the hands - it would likely not be considered compensable.  There are also legal conditions that must be met, i.e. whether you filed your workers comp claim within the legal deadline.  \n\nOther legal issues may include whether your injury or illness is being caused by the job itself, or whether it is being caused by the WAY your workstation is set up.  \n\nOther legal conditions also include whether there are OTHER prior injuries or illnesses that may be affecting your current medical condition. \n\nThe answer to your question would be "yes" IF\n1 - You had filed your claim within the legal deadlines. \n2 - You do NOT have pre-existing injuries or illnesses that could be causng your symptoms. \n3 - Your job itself is causing the problem, and NOT only the way your workstation is set up. \n4 - There are NO other OUTSIDE factors causing your condition.  Example - if you do a lot of typing at home, your claim would likely be challenged. \n5 - Some states have specific "waiting periods", example, you must have worked in that same job for 90 days, 120 days, etc., in order for your claim to be valid.\nYou can visit a workers comp forum @Prairielaw.com, \nor\nvisit http://www.GettingWorkersComp.com \nHope this helps

Just contact the Workers Comp Bureau, number should be in your phone book, and they will put you in touch with the person you need to report it to.  Boy, they'll be more than thrilled to talk to someone who has the kind of information you do.

No because you are not considered unemployed.  The workers comp. company is responsible for paying your wages and for any costs occuring from the injury

Hmm, what type of guidelines? Basically when dealing with workers comp, keep all your records and never assume that they are doing something unless you check up on it. Basically, cover yourself. Oh, and good luck!

I don't live in Arkansas but workman's compensation usually pays only if you miss work due to injuries suffered on the job.\nIf your employer isn't responding you might try the Labor Board for the State of Arkansas.  They are usually listed with other State offices in the front of the telephone book.  If you can't find it call any State office and tell them you have a work related question and they will direct you to the right place.  Alternatively you can just go online to arkansas.gov.  It is the official web site of the Arkansas state government.

you cant have workmans comp on one employee only and this has nothing to do with liability insurance.. you can have a P.A (personal accidents) insurance instead.

Try here for a better understanding of what could/needs to be done physically about his problem...\nhttp://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSENF000/9339/10131.html#diagnosis\nIf he has insurance, definitely start there and get him taken care of, as the problem could get worse. If he was injured at work, the workman's comp should cover. There are guidelines (national) that they HAVE to abide by. Get on the phone, hit the net, do whatever it is you have to do, and do it now before he endures any more pain, or his condition worsens. He deserves his compensation, and you might have to get a lawyer. There are many lawyers who deal only in comp. cases, and do not require payment unless there is a settlement. Take care, and care of him, and good luck!
