What is the name of your state? New York
I am currently out of work on worker's comp due to carpal tunnel surgery. After the surgery/recovery is complete i'm scheduled to go back to work. I do computer work 8 hours a day.
My question is how does a worker's comp claim work if i switch jobs? For instance assuming i'm better and go back to work with no serious issues, and then quit my current job and get a new one (perhaps even in another state, probably MA). By that point i may need continuing physical therapy but probably no time off/surgeries (i hope). Is the claim coverage tied to a current employer? Would i lose my claim coverage and have it get moved to the next companies insurance provider? I'm really not sure how this works and i'm scared to ask the claim's adjuster a questoin like this (although we are currently on pretty good terms, he's a nice guy (probably rare to hear on these boards i'm sure)
Thanks for any help. I'm really scared i'm stuck at one job because of my injury, or would have to cause an uproar at any new job because of the injury. Also any advice from anyone woud be nice.
Thanks again.
