When employees are injured on the job and receive workers’ compensation benefits, they may not be able to return to their job. In some cases, they may no longer have the physical capability to perform their job ever again.
When this occurs, employers may offer their employees a light-duty job. If injured employees refuse to take these jobs, then employers may be able to appeal to a workers’ compensation judge to modify the employee’s workers’ compensation benefits.
If you or anyone you know has questions about your workers’ compensation benefits, contact the Philadelphia workers’ compensation benefits of Lowenthal & Abrams at 215-238-1130.
