What is your question? 132a? EEOC filing? Labor Law? Wrongful Termination?
You have to change your treating doctor. When your treating doctor sent you back to work with no restriction in fact it means no injuries or 100% recovery. If the new doctor determines your injuries then you will be entitled to further medical treatment, temporary disability benefits, a settlement for permanent disability and vocational rehabilitation.
