If you get fired and workmens comp case pending for carpal tunnel could fined other employment?

Whether you can find other employment while you have a pending workers' compensation claim depends on the specific circumstances of your case, including the nature of your injury and the restrictions placed on your work by your doctor.

In general, you are entitled to temporary disability benefits if your work-related injury prevents you from working. These benefits are typically paid for a limited period of time, such as until you reach maximum medical improvement or are able to return to work. While you are receiving temporary disability benefits, you may be required to attend regular medical appointments and follow your doctor's prescribed treatment plan.

If your doctor places restrictions on your work activities, you may be able to find other employment that accommodates your restrictions. For example, if you are restricted from lifting heavy objects, you may be able to find a job that does not require heavy lifting.

If you find other employment while your workers' compensation claim is pending, it is important to notify your workers' compensation insurance company. Your benefits may be affected if you fail to notify the insurance company.

It is also important to speak with an attorney if you have questions about your rights and options. An attorney can help you navigate the workers' compensation system and ensure that your rights are protected.
