Quickly Book mark.


  

I'm workers comp claim is for a injury on my hands called "cubicle syndrom"...my hands hurt, it affects my way of working and production. I just got laid off from the job that i loved that I got this from, how can i protect myself? I'm not sure if I can work right now because my hands continue to hurt and my speed of typing has diminished. Considering how they released me from work, how can i make them pay? Disability? What steps do i have to take?

Answer:

Do you have an attorney? If not, seek one.

Be honest about your physical abilities and limitations to any potential future employers and medical doctors. Don't be a dumb*ss and get caught doing x, y & z when you told your doctors you couldn't do x, y & z. Of course if your condition improves and after treatment you can do x, y & z, then that is fine. Bottom line, honesty is the best policy!!!

Are you receiving any compensation benefits since you were laid off? If not, you should be.
