No. Once your are earning income (either at your regualr rate or even at a reduced rate-if job duties changed, you can not claim worker’s comp. If you are perm injured, you can sue.
That’s not true KELLY D… in some states there are TPD/Temp
Partial Disability benefits paid. You are still subject to the
min/max TTD/TPD rates your average weekly wage will support.
TTD/TPD wage loss benefits are paid when there is a wage
loss…benefits are paid by the IC, not the employER.
