Dear Sirs:
Yes, you have a wage differential case which we would be able to recover for you.
You also have other rights which we would need to discuss.
Please call.
Many thanks,
John C. Wunsch, P.C.

Yes.
IF you are on "light duty" or on some form of work restriction from a doctor or as a result of a functional capacity exam (FCE) you are entitled to "TPD" benefits.
TPD is based upon your "part time" NET earnings compared to how much you would earn had you been able to work full duty.
I can calculate the exact number for you if you provide me with the dollar amount you are paid per hour and your "take home" pay.
Let me know,
