If you only had one job, and you got hurt on that job, and you are drawing wage loss benefits from that injury, you CANNOT take another job and also keep your benefits. You will have replaced the wage loss caused by the injury with regular wages. To be certain, however, more facts are needed. I suggest you contact a board certified specialist in this area of the law. Most lawyers offer free initial consultations. Good luck!
