Ty Wilson Law Podcast

We received a question today. "Will I be forced to quit my job if I follow workers' compensation claim?" And the short answer is, not if you file it to know not if you file a workers compensation claim. If you settle a workers' compensation claim, a lot of times the insurance company will request that a resignation be signed if you're going to settle for a lump sum amount. If you file the claim only, you get the medical care you need. Get return back to work, and you're happy. And you get paid any permanent partial disability, and all the weekly checks, And get the medical care. You do not necessarily have to quit your job or resign your position. Now, you do wanna keep an eye on the people that have gone before you. Anyone who has been injured on the job that you know of before you get injured on the job. Question is: "What happened to them?" "Did they return back to work?" "Or did they just disappear?" If they disappeared, it may be something where they settled the claim. Or it may be something where they found a way to terminate them anyway. So, you wanna be careful about what your employer may do. If they're vindictive, you may wanna try to work the claim into a settlement. So that you don't have to worry about being terminated later with nothing to show. We hope this information has been helpful. And we will see you on the next video.
