Re: injury on the job
There are a lot of unanswered questions in your case. What was your injury? How does it keep you from doing your job? Has a doctor assessed you as having a permanet impairment (disability)?
Did this injury occur in the last year? Did the worker's compensation carrier pay your medical expenses or and temporary disability payments? If you will answer these questions, I can give you a better answer to your question....Bill Poland
