Q: If I go back to work and get hurt again in my neck or back would I be able to sue for injury at the new job
I have had neck and back surgery and my attorney told me to go back to work in my field my field is construction
A:
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Based on your description, it does not look like a personal injury matter involving suing, but more likely a workers' comp claim. If the attorney you mention is handling your workers' comp claim, they would be in the best position to advise because they have your file and the determination of the WC IME. If your attorney is only handling the personal injury aspect of your claim, consider reaching out to an experienced workers' comp attorney. Most offer free initial consults. Good luck
