Work Restrictions – Tennessee Workers Compensation
Has your workers’ compensation doctor assigned work restrictions? If so, you need to follow those restrictions. Your employer also needs to allow you to work within those restrictions.
When a doctor puts you on work restrictions as a part of your work comp claim, it is important that you employer allow you to work within those restrictions. It's the law.
There are many good employers, however, sometimes employers do not follow the work comp. doctor’s restrictions. This puts the injured worker in a difficult position. They are afraid that if they do not do what their employer asks, they will be fired. At the same time, they do not want to risk further injury by violating the doctor's orders.
The injured employee should follow their authorized treating doctor's orders. If the employer retaliates, you should contact a workers' compensation lawyer immediately.
