Depends on your percentage of permanent disability after surgery was paid for by your employer.
The company has workers comp insurance and it's paid through that. Always.
i lost a finger in 1983 do i get money for that
Most states don't allow you to file a suit if they have works comp. Workers compensation is an insurance to guard the company from claims of injury. Now you can how ever fight for benefits from the workers comp company. If the company knew of unsafe practices, equipment ect and a reasonable person would deem that the issue would lead to injury but the company disregarded it then you could sue the company.
does workers comp require a drug screening upon injury
No. All medical policies I've seen exclude benefits if worker's comp is mandated.
It is illegal for a company to fire you after a Workmans Comp injury has been reported. Retain an injury lawyer ASAP. Good Luck
If it was a legitimate workplace injury and you didn't commit fraud, the money is yours. It's not a loan. The idea behind workmans comp is that if you're injured on the job you still get part of your paycheck instead of suing the company for injury.
It depends on the circumstances and the seriousness of the injury
Was it an on the job injury?
