Your question does not provide enough information to give a proper answer. It makes a difference whether you found the job or the insurance company found you a job. It also makes a difference whether the job is within your work restrictions. The problem is, the refusal of a light duty job can result in the suspension or termination of your benefits. I would not refuse the job unless or until you have consulted with a knowledgeable Virginia workers' compensation attorney.
