New Jersey Light-Duty Work Attorney & Workers Comp Lawyers
After taking time off to recover from an on-the-job injury, most workers are not yet ready to resume their full duties. In this situation, a doctor will typically prescribe that the injured worker return on light-duty status. The goal is to have the worker performing a needed task for the employer while avoiding the potential risk of re-injury posed by full duties.
Wasn’t Offered Light-Duty Work After An Injury Have Questions? We Can Help, Tell Us What Happened.
The challenge occurs when an employer has no light-duty work available. Some employers simply have no light work because of the nature of the work they do. In this type of circumstance the worker may be placed in a difficult situation where:
- The insurer does not want to continue paying benefits to the worker and/or
- The employer attempts to force the worker to return to full duties before they are ready.
