Re: work or not to work???
If you have a workers' compensation claim, then you are eligible for the insurance company to pay you for your lost time. The Rate you are paid is two thirds of your average weekly wage while you were working. If you are still working, you should be paid your prior salary unless you are working a light duty job. Then, you can be paid a lower salary but workers comp ins should pay you the difference. Please call me if you have additional questions.
