An
Injured Worker's Options:
Finding New Employment
Our system of workers’
compensation is supposed to
be set up to protect the
injured worker, get him
quick and timely benefits
and get him back to work as
soon as is feasible,
hopefully in his same job.
While the system works for
the vast majority of injured
workers, for both claimant
and respondent, there are
often seen problems that
arise. From the claimant’s
perspective, one of the most
tragic occurs when an
injured worker cannot
physically return to the job
on which he was injured.
That worker now faces a
return to work, if work can
be found at all, at a
significantly reduced rate
of pay with no seniority,
fewer benefits, if any, in a
job setting different from
his chosen vocation.
