If I Return to Work Making Less Money, Am I Still Entitled to Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
New York City | Queens | Brooklyn | Bronx Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
So you’ve been hurt at work and you can’t perform your old job. What happens if you go back to work at a different position, making less money than you were before your injury? Are you still entitled to seek workers’ compensation benefits for what you have lost? The answer is yes!
Under the New York workers’ compensation laws, an injured worker can make what is known as a “reduced earnings award.” In fact, you can be compensated up to 2/3 of the difference between the statutory maximum and what you are making after your injury.
