Q: I work for Amazon, in January I injured my knee, tried several treatments nothing worked now I need a knee replacement.
I will miss 2 to 3 months of work making only 60% of my day? Do I not get paid my full pay because I injured my knee at work. I have already missed time from work for other treatments for my knee and was only paid for a few days missed. Some of the days I missed I wasn't paid for?
I'm on restrictions now waiting on my surgery to get approved what happens if I can't return to work without restrictions after surgery. Will I loose my job?
A: It sounds like there are quite a few issues with how Amazon is handling this situation. I would highly encourage you to reach out to an experienced workers comp lawyer ASAP, as these types of matters are very time sensitive. Most lawyers on here, including myself, offer free consultations to answer questions and see what can be done to help you out.
