Re: going back to work after work injury

Your worker's compensation case may continue and you are entitled to continued medical treatment, a settlement for permanent disabilities, future medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation. If you decide not to go back to work when modified work is available, the worker's compensation insurance carrier may try to stop temporary disability payment.
