Can I Quit My Job While I Have a Pending Workers' Compensation Claim?
The workers’ compensation attorneys at the Steinberg Law Firm hear this question multiple times a day. The answer can be complicated. In general, we advise injured workers against leaving their job in the middle of a workers’ comp case. However, each case is different, and we encourage anyone who is injured to reach out to an experienced work injury attorney for guidance. If you have a workers’ compensation case and quit your job, you risk losing some of your benefits, particularly as it relates to wages.
