Re: worker'scomp

You are NOT required to be working at the same employer to receive a settlement.

The day of accident is the important date.

However, you need to be careful if you are unable to return to your old job BECAUSE of the accident.

You may be entitled to additional benefits if you have permanent restrictions (vocational training, wage differential, etc.).

So if you have any permanent restrictions you would be well served to have legal counsel.

Good luck,

Matt Belcher
