Dear Law Guru Friend,

You have a worker's compensation case,

even though you may have returned to work.

You have substantial rights. One thing for

sure, don't act without knowing what you

are doing and how it will affect your job and

rights. I suggest you begin to study worker's

compensation law and learn all you can for

yourself. I shall be glad to assist you, if you will

but e-mail me your name and phone number, and,

of course, the parish where this disabling

accident occurred. My e-mail address is

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
