How does workers' compensation affect my ability to return to work?

Workers' compensation aims to help injured workers recover and return to work, if possible. Here are some key points:

Temporary Disability: If you are temporarily unable to work, you will receive disability benefits until you can return.

Modified or Light Duty: Your employer may offer modified or light-duty work that accommodates your injury. If you can perform these duties, you may return to work with restrictions.

Permanent Disability: If you have a permanent impairment, you may receive permanent disability benefits. You may still be able to return to work, either in your previous role with accommodations or in a different capacity.

Vocational Rehabilitation: Workers' compensation may provide vocational rehabilitation services to help you train for a new job if you cannot return to your previous occupation.
