More details to this question:
I was injured at my old job. He had nothing for me to go back to do, since I had strict medical restrictions. Recently I was hired by a new employer, that I informed multiple times that I have permanent medical restrictions. Now it seems that they won't work with my restrictions that they knew about when I was hired. Do I have any options since work comp will stop paying more that I'm employed again, and I have to have an income.

Update Your Profile
On the employment side, more would have to be known about the employer and the details of your hiring would have to be better reviewed together with the details of what is and is not being made available to you at this time. This really would be best covered in a consultation. You should also be certain to discuss your options with your workers' compensation counsel as the circumstances may play into presenting your claim for maximum recovery.
