PODCAST #280 Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer - Supervised is making me work full duty even though the doctor has me at light duty.

Hello, Ty Wilson here. We're answering a couple of questions that we've received over the last couple of weeks. This question is, "I have a case currently. I was on work restrictions. So, sounds like a work injury, and my supervisor made me work full duty regardless am I liable for that." I'm not sure I understand the whole, "Am I liable for that?" But if you are on medical restriction from a work injury claim and the employer put you to full duty the question is in those job duties can you complete or do the job duties that you have to do for your employer if you can that's fantastic. Noove forward if it's aggravating your injury "Need to return back to your what they call authorized treating physician." Mainly your main doctor in your work injury claim. And let them know you're having issues And if you know specifically what you're doing that aggravates the injury. You wanna tell the doctor that. They will adjust your restrictions. Now, take that back to the employer. The employer may say the same thing. "Hey! I don't care." "Full duty or you go home." If you are sent home because you cannot do full duty well then they may have to pay you a weekly checks in your workers compensation claim. Now, something to seek but something to back you up. And so something to think about. if you have any questions you always wanna reach out to a Georgia workers compensation attorney. Just speak with them about the claim doesn't mean you have to retain them. We speak to a lot of people and I would say the vast majority of them we do not retain. But we do try to find out where their claim is let them know what possible problems there are issues they could run into with their claim. And what might be the best move moving forward.
