Is your employer trying to avoid paying your workers’ compensation claim?
Are you worried you’ll be forced to go back to work before you’re ready?
Do you have health coverage that will cover future medical treatment?

Some employers avoid using workman's comp by forcing an employee to return to work. Your employer may say that you won’t be required to perform your regular duties, but the work could still exacerbate your injury. They may even offer to pay your regular wages. It could be more than you’d receive through workers' compensation, however, you won’t be eligible for coverage of future medical treatment, or be protected from termination.
You could be threatened with being fired or your employer could delay the entire process until you give up filing for worker’s compensation. A dishonest employer may request that an employee use his or her own health insurance to cover the medical costs of the injury, but this may prevent the employee from filing for workman's comp in the future or at least subject you to collection and being personally responsible for medical bills.
