What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
I sustained a work related injury 3/12 (dropped PC on wrist), reported it to US Dept of Labor OWC, my supervisor, our Occupational Nurse and our HR dept. I seen an orthopedic doctor who recommended surgery ASAP on the hand to repair severe nerve & tendon damage and swelling. I then completed PT, but due to severity of injury I still have a large lump on wrist and severe pain daily. I seen a Rehab doctor who has been giving me strong narcotic pain medication to help with pain and swelling and said injury is most likely permanent and will take time to heal. I provided my boss with my doctor’s note detailing his medical recommendations/limitations and asked for reasonable accommodations. It worked for a few months, but he began to assign me work that violated doctors orders, thus not allowing time to heal and cause more pain/injury. Can I do anything about him purposely violating doctor’s orders/limitations, even after reminders about Dr's orders?
