Re: Changing Employers

If you are currently drawing workers' compensation benefits and you return to work earning less than you were when you got hurt, you may be entitled to wage loss benefits (tpd). However, if you are earning more with the new job, then you are not entitled to indemnity benefits. Either way, you are still entitled to medical care. Additionally, if you receive a disability rating from your physician, you will be entitled to permanent partial disability benefits (ppd). Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to call me at 678-407-140.
