Can Your Employer Ignore Your Work Restrictions? | Georgia Workers' Compensation Explained

What would I do if my employer asked me to ignore my doctor's work restrictions after a workplace injury?
In this episode, I walk you through exactly how work restrictions work in a Georgia workers' compensation case and what I recommend if your employer isn't following them.
I'll explain the difference between being taken completely out of work, returning to full duty, and working under light-duty restrictions. I'll also share how I would handle situations where an employer asks me to lift more than my doctor allows, pressures me to do work that could make my injury worse, or threatens my job for refusing.
I'll also cover why it's so important to stay calm, document everything, communicate with your doctor, and avoid quitting your job before speaking with an attorney. The way you respond can have a significant impact on both your recovery and your workers' compensation benefits.
