Q: Ok i was told by my lawyer that if i go through with a work comp claim then i have to resign from my current position.
I dont kno how it works with a third party case's but was rear ended in company truck the guy that hit me has insurance as well as me however i was working at time. So work comp case was started due to reporting my injury to boss. My lawyer says we can only go after pip part of case and not workmans comp because i told him that my employer and i both want me back. If i want to go back i cant go after work comp.I have been off work 6 months and workcomp payed my medical bills and my 2/3 of pay prior to accident. And i have a case against work comp for missing benefits,and stuff unpayed.I 6 years ago went through this workcomp thing before when cutting tip of finger off and i never had to resign and was able to pick up right where i left off i dont get it has laws change in Florida since 1/6/06. That makes the employee unelidgable to go back to work after going through a settlement. Or does my lawyer not kno about workmans comp
