Warning! New work comp law reduces benefits for injured workers in Michigan

In the past, the Michigan workers compensation law paid full benefits to people who could not do their job. Based on new changes in the workers compensation law, thousands of people who are currently on workers compensation benefits in Michigan will receive a letter from their insurance carrier or their employer, scheduling an appointment for them to see a vocational expert or a vocational counselor, for a vocational assessment. You will be asked questions about your education, your past work experience, any skills that you might have based on your background and within your medical restrictions. If you are considered "partially disabled," which means there are jobs that you could do, even though they're not available, they're going to pretend that you're doing those jobs, and as a result, your workers compensation benefits will be reduced. If you do receive such a letter, it's important for you to contact an experienced workers compensation lawyer as soon as possible.
