Vocational Rehabilitation
Under some circumstances, if your injury prevents you from returning to your former profession, then Workers compensation could pay for job training and job placement.
If you have not yet spoken to a lawyer then you may not be receiving all the benefits available to you. If you are dealing directly with the insurance company for your claim, it is important to know the insurance companies are not on your side; their goal is to pay the least amount possible.
