Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Recinding of light-duty
I was injured at work almost one year ago. I have been on light or modified duty for that amount of time. My employer wants a return me to full duty or go on disability. Is this legal? Can he recind light-duty after offering it for over a;most a year?

Re: Recinding of light-duty
Your doctor determines whether or not you can return to full duty, not your employer. When you are deemed permanent and stationary it is critical to your final award to have your work restrictions opined by a doctor who is applicant oriented, and not one on your employer's insurance company payroll. The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insurance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insurance companies have attorneys, why don't you??
