Q: I turned in a letter of resignation then got injuried at work.......how does that affect my workers comp claim ?
A: If you were on the job you were on the job. What it affects is your wage loss claim if you are unable to work. Consult a member of the Pennsylvania Assn for Justice--they give free consultations.
A: I note your location is listed as Ohio, but you posted in the Pennsylvania forum. Each state has it's own workers' compensation laws. If this is a PA claim, your resignation would have no impact on your claim for medical benefits. The resignation may have an impact on your entitlement to wage loss benefits depending on the extent of your restrictions. I would strongly suggest that you contact a local workers' compensation attorney to review your case in detail.
