Workman’s comp
Hello Sarah, I'd be happy to give general information about workman's comp. Can you please specify your situation and the state you are located in?
I got hit in the head at work. I have been going to concussion rehab and seeing a sports medicine doctor. They have said that if I return to work, and I get hit in the head again, I will suffer permanent brain damage. I do not want to go back to my job, but I don’t want to have to pay anything back. I don’t know what to do
