Ty Wilson Law Podcast

Hello, my name is Ty Wilson with Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our video topic for today is what is actually considered light duty or limited Duty or modified duty. They all mean the same thing. The answer to that question really depends on the type of injury you have.  

Your doctor is the one who will determine if you are on light duty or limited Duty or modified duty and what your limitations or modifications will be. If  you injured your back likely a light-duty restriction would be no bending, no stooping, no lifting more than a certain amount of weight. That's for the doctor to determine that you see. 

That's why it's important if you do get hurt on the job that you notify your employer immediately and that you request medical attention for your injuries. The doctor will determine what your duties and light duties and restrictions are. The employer has the opportunity to accommodate those restrictions, or if they cannot accommodate those restrictions you may qualify for income benefits under the Georgia workers compensation system.

Always recommended that you speak with a Georgia workers compensation attorney to find out what your rights are under the law. We hope that you found this information helpful.

Hello, my name is Ty Wilson with Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our video topic for today is, “Do I get paid if I get injured at work?” or on the job and the short answer is that depends. 

If you're injured on the job, the most important thing that you can do is notify your employer that you've been hurt and that you need medical care immediately. Once you get medical care, the doctor will help determine if you're entitled to income benefits because the doctor is going to determine if you can or cannot return to work. 

They're either going to take you out of work completely, put you on limited light and or modified duty, we've heard them all called they're all the same thing. And that means that you can work in some capacity but not full duty heavy work, if that's the type of work that you do. And then lastly, they may release you to full duty and that means that you can do everything you could do before the injury. 

And so depending upon, if you're taken out of work or not, or if you're provided light limited or modified duty, the employer may have to pay you income benefits, if they cannot accommodate any light modified or limited duty work. 

Before you go back to work, it is important and critical that you speak with a Georgia workers compensation attorney immediately to find out what your rights are and where your claim may be going from that point in time. 

We hope that you found this information helpful. We thank you for watching the video and we hope that you'll come check out our other videos and check us out at our website. If it questions don't hesitate to give us a call at the number on the screen. Thank you.
