Legal Question


I injured a tendon on one of the fingers on my right hand 8 months ago. I have been receiving Workman's Compensation since the accident. I have had surgery on the hand that was injured, and also surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome at a later date, although I do not have a job that required repetitive motion.

My Workman's Comp. has terminated, and I have been released by my doctor to resume working at an animal hospital in Virginia. My question is: what is my former employer's responsibility to re-hire me, and how long does he have to pay for my medical insurance?
