Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
I'm an illegal alien and i got hurt during work. I'm a milker at a dairy and a cow kicked me and broke my wrist. i had to undergo four different surgeries, and i've gone to three months of therapy. the doctor said I could return back to work but i called my employer to tell them i can return and he told me that my spot had been taken and that he will let me know when anything was available. my lawyer told me to find another job and that workers comp was not going to pay me anymore. What should I do.

Your employer is not required to hold your job position open while you are off work. Once you are able to return to work you are not entitled to any total temporary disability, but you are entitled to continuing medical treatment and some degree of permanent disability. You do need to seek other employment.
You are entitled to receive a settlement for your permanent disability.
