What if I can't go back to my job?

In the short term (before you have reached maximum medical improvement), if you can't go back to your job, and your employer doesn't have something for you to do within your restrictions, you should be paid for your time off of work.  In the long term (after you have reached the point that you are no longer getting better and you have permanent work restrictions), you may be entitled to vocational rehabilitation, which is help finding a new job that you can do.  We can help you get into an approved vocational rehabilitation plan if you qualify.  Just call us at (800)665-0064.
