Omaha Vocational Rehabilitation Attorney
Council Bluffs Workplace Injury Lawyer
Many people do not know that their right to workers' compensation benefits often includes a right to get the training they need to return to work, if they are unable to return to suitable employment.
The law protects injured workers in several ways. At the Omaha law office of James F. Fenlon, P.C., L.L.O. we help with permanent partial disability benefits and temporary total disability benefits, medical benefits, but we can also help you get the vocational rehabilitation you are entitled to.
Under workers' compensation law, you may have the right to vocational rehabilitation after a work injury. People are often entitled to workers' compensation when they can't return to "suitable employment" after an injury changes their lives. Suitable employment means a job that you had previous training or work experience in performing.
The law allows you to seek several different kinds of vocational rehabilitation, depending on your needs and interests:
- A job search
- On-the-job training
- Associate degree
- Bachelors degree (in limited cases)
If you are eligible for vocational rehabilitation benefits, these benefits will pay the costs associated with the implementation and participation in the vocational rehabilitation plan, including such things as your mileage to and from school or training. But the best way to make sure you get the benefits you deserve is to talk with an experienced lawyer.
At the law office of James F. Fenlon, P.C., L.L.O. we use more than 40 years of experience to help you protect your rights. We have in-depth knowledge and skill and are dedicated to helping you achieve an appropriate result under workers' compensation law.
