I Fractured my Elbow ...What should I do? Advise on workman comp

[Times Roman]

if you go to work with a "light duty order" from your doc, and your supervisor ignores it and puts you back to work, you my friend could become rich. There is a potential lawsuit there. So do this. Do as your supervisor asks. then you "get hurt" again. You go to the doctor, they ask what happened, is it workers comp related? yes, it is. why did you ignore the "light duty order"? You had to or get fired. Then go find an attorney and see what he says.

Lucky you! =)
