Employers frequently attempt to have injured workers return to work following a workers' compensation injury. However, if you are receiving income benefits as a result of your work injury, your employer cannot stop your benefits based on offering you a light duty job without having that job approved by your authorized physician, and making a written offer of light duty employment on a form called a WC-240. If you have an accepted workers' comp claim, and your employer is attempting to suspend your income benefits based on a refusal of light duty employment, call Atlanta workers' compensation lawyer Brian Sumrall at (404) 857-3835, or visit
