Workers typically need to hire a workers comp lawyer when they are refused benefits to which they are entitled, are told that they can return to work before they are actually medically able, or are denied extended or permanent disability despite significant disabling injury. If your employer sends you to a doctor who declares that you are able to return to work even though you don't believe you are yet able, or tries to get you to return to work to a special job created to accommodate your injury, you should consider speaking to a comp lawyer right away.
The reason is this: while a typical injured employee does not know the law, a typical employer is very much aware of how the compensation system works, and how to terminate an employee's benefits. An injured worker who returns to work in a specially created position may well find that, two weeks later, the position is eliminated and he is laid off - but is no longer eligible for workers comp. Similarly, many employers utilize doctors who are much more interested in maintaining a good continuing relationship with the employer than with accurately diagnosing the employee - too many declarations of continuing disability will likely cause the employer to send injured employees to a different doctor. A lawyer can help you protect your rights when one of these "hired gun" doctors tries to block you from getting necessary treatment, cut off your benefits or send you back to work too early.
Wow, I'm sorry I just did not think that way. When my back started to hurt, I had gone to my personal doctor on my own, and since I work for doctors I got an MRI on my back at no charge.
And I know the position they offered me is a true position. I just hate to think on top of everything they would think this out that far. As I have not said anything about my back injury could be solely from my job.

God purps I'm sorry to hear about this. And also the back injury. Just a double whammy. Is Shelley still there to help you? You have been a kind soul to give her a place during her need.
I can't remember how old your kids are.
Yes. Some employers (a lot actually) like to get around that Workmen's Comp. by paying directly to you. Do you have anything recorded w/them about your back??
If you want to PM me we can talk.
Peace sweetie,
Juni

Thank you everyone for your nice comments and support.
My supervisor called late this afternoon and encouraged me to take the other job until I find something else. If I were younger and had the energy I used to I would not do it........but I am.
This was not her idea, and I don't think she is much happy about it.
Anyway, I just feel like I was kicked in the stomach today. My friends have called and they know this is not right.
I have to work, I support my household.
