Re: getting hurt on the job
If your employer is not giving enough work due to your injury and you are still treating for your injuries, the best solution would be to ask your doctor to take you off work. If your doctor is from the insurance company most likely he or she would be unwilling to do that. Then you need to change your doctor to someone outside of MPN.

If the doctor put you on modified duties with restrictions, this could impact your work and your hours. Your question does lack some important details, thus, I ask that you contact me at 877.505.INJURY for a free consultation.
