Handling this situation the RIGHT way means you get your weekly check but doing it the WRONG way means no pay and a big fight. So I made this video just for you so you'll know what to do. I hope you enjoy it.

In workers' compensation cases, it's crucial to obtain a work status note from your doctor every time you visit, maintaining your status until your next appointment. Provide copies of these notes to your attorney, the insurance company, and your employer to ensure they are aware of your off-work status and facilitate potential compensation.

Be cautious if your treating doctor, often assigned by the insurance company or employer, recommends returning to work prematurely, as their interests may not align entirely with yours.
If you feel unready to return to work despite your doctor's recommendation, consider switching to a doctor who will advocate for your best interests.

If advised to attempt modified or light-duty work, it's generally recommended to try it, but if it proves unsafe or unmanageable, seek another evaluation and document any discrepancies between recommended and actual work duties.

If you find yourself in a position where your doctor suggests you return to work, Scott recommends trying it out, but also emphasizes the importance of seeking a fair examination if you believe it would be dangerous for you. Additionally, he addresses light-duty job assignments and what to do if your employer disregards your work restrictions.
