Vocational Rehabilitation

When a worker is injured on the job, it is standard fare to file for workers’ compensation in order to cover medical expenses and related fees. However, if an injury prevents the worker from returning to their job, additional compensation may be in order. Federal law protects such workers from the perils of unemployment. Vocational rehabilitation is a program designed to help people who were injured on the job return to the workforce.
