Been on workers comp for awhile, will be for a bit longer, I bought into long term disability the company is going to let me go, due to the fact I can't work yet, FMLA will expire before I'm released back to work, Can this be changed to a disability instead of comp? How?
Mr. Caldwell,
You must weigh the advantages of choosing long term disability over workers' compensation lost wages. It sounds as if your treating doctor has you on either light or full duty work restrictions. If your workers' compensation benefits are expected to end due to be terminated from your company because of (light/full duty restrictions), you can absolutely fill out the required paperwork for long-term disability; if that options remains open. You cannot collect both wage benefits without the possibility of a setoff. It is very important to contact our office before making this type of a decision.
