Question By: After your doctor gives you permanent medical restrictions, you may have legitimate, stressful concerns about how the restrictions will impact your job. For people with a wide range of physical restrictions, returning to the same jobs they performed before their injuries could be impossible.
If You Can Perform Some of Your Old Job
Workers who can perform some of their old job duties from before their injuries have a few options. They can talk to their employers about returning to work with restrictions.
If You Cannot Perform Your Old Job
Workers who cannot perform the jobs they held before their injuries due to permanent work restrictions can (1) move into a new position at the same employer (discussed above), (2) find a new job, or (3) depending on age and restrictions, explore retirement or permanent disability.
If Your Employer Fires You
When you cannot perform your old job or another job at your employer because of permanent medical restrictions, your employer may terminate your employment. Fortunately, you probably will qualify for workers' compensation wage replacement benefits while you look for a new job.
