Vocational Rehabilitation

At The Davis Law Group P.C., it is important to our attorneys that you receive all of the benefits you deserve when injured on the job, including vocational rehabilitation. If you cannot return to your former job, the Workers’ Compensation Act requires your former employer to provide vocational rehabilitation so that you may return to some type of employment

Dependent upon your particular circumstances, your employer may be required to provide you with education expenses, job search counseling to help you assess what jobs you can perform, or job retraining. Your vocational rehabilitation may consist of helping you to prepare a resume or practice for interviews. You may choose a provider for these services. Otherwise, your employer may select a provider, which you may accept. You must cooperate with whichever program is chosen, otherwise these benefits may be terminated.

If your injury occurred on or after February 1, 2006, you are entitled to maintenance benefits that are at least equal to your TTD rate while participating in vocational rehabilitation. The attorneys at The Davis Law Group, P.C., have the experience and knowledge to help you obtain the maximum benefits for your workers’ compensation case.
