Return to Work Issues

Workers' Compensation Attorney in West Des Moines

Protecting Your Rights Against Return to Work Issues

Returning to work after your claim is accepted or you have successfully received workers' compensation benefits can be confusing and a bit stressful at first. After your claim has been approved, your employer will likely make an effort to help you return to work in some capacity, if you are able to. Your employer is required to offer you some type of work that is suitable for any limitations you may have, but this may not always work for you.

If you are having any issues with returning to work, turn to a West Des Moines workers' compensation lawyer from King Law, PLLC.

Representing Return to Work Disputes

Restricted duty is some type of assignment that is given to you until you have healed enough to take over your previous job. However, if the temporary position or duty which is offered to you does not work for you, they must respect other factors in addition to your physical restrictions. If your employer is giving you a hard time about returning to work or not caring for the appropriate considerations, you may need to involve a lawyer.

A few examples of the factors that must be considered include the following:

• Your medical plan and doctor's appointments
• Your financial needs to care for your family
• Your ability to get from home to work (location)
