can workman''s comp stop pay checks because they heard the job has a job for me while your on Doctors restrictions?

Workers' Compensation Carriers can stop and start TTD/TPD (lost wage checks) whenever they want.  That does not mean they did it correctly or that a Judge will agree with them.  The Carriers may have to go back and pay the lost wages that should have been paid.  Carriers make mistakes all of the time.  When you do not have an attorney, there is nothing in the law that gives the Carrier a time frame to fix their mistakes.  Usually, injured workers hire an attorney who files a Petition for Benefits with the Court and requests that the checks be re-instated.  Lost wage checks can be stopped if the Employer has a position within your restrictions as given to you by the authorized treating workers comp doctor and they have notified you of this position.  Employers usually send letters to the injured workers so they have proof that the job was actually offered.  If they do not send a letter then it may be up to the Judge to decide if the job was actually offered to the injured worker and whether the injured worker is able to perform the job. There are a lot more factors that the Judge may also consider.  I would be happy to speak to you in more detail.  Please call me for a FREE consultation at (877)817-4127.
