Vocational Retraining
If a doctor finds that you are unable to return to work, it is
your employer’s obligation to hire a vocational counselor
to retrain you. Unfortunately, most insurance companies will simply
send you out on job searches for minimum-wage employment. It is
at this point that an injured employee's workers' compensation attorney
should consider hiring his or her own vocational counselor. This
counselor can then recommend schooling, apprenticeship programs
and retraining rather than simple job searches. The injured worker's
attorney can then petition the Industrial Commission to adopt the
retraining that the injured worker desires. In addition to the basic
benefits, an injured worker may be able to be retrained in a new
career.
The Law Offices of Bradley Dworkin have successfully forced many
insurance companies to retrain injured workers. The insurance companies
are simply interested in minimizing the cost of your claim. Your
future is not their concern. For additional information on pursuing
vocational retraining, please contact us.
