Work related

As so often happens, it sounds like trying to do the right thing will cause you problems. In Pennsylvania, when an injured worker is laid off from modified duty work (ie: the injured worker is still under physical restrictions), it is usually not hard to get the injured worker back onto workers' compensation benefits. When the injured worker is laid off from full, unrestricted, work, however, it is much more difficult.

This is only concerning the wage loss benefits - in Pennsylvania, the workers' compensation insurance carrier remains responsible for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment which is related to the injury, regardless of your work status.

I would suggest you immediately consult with an attorney about the specific facts in your case. The longer you wait, the harder it may be to successfully pursue a case. Also, if you are still having problems with the foot, you may want to go back in to see the doctor.
