Re: Worker' Comp Rights for Michigan
It is generally legal for an employer to replace an injured workers, even permanently. However, perhaps there is some violation of the Handicappers Act if a reasonable accomodation could have been made. These are difficult cases. Why don't you give me a call to see if there is something more that can be done? William S. Stern
