Hello all,
Location: Illinois
I recently sustained an injury while at work requiring surgery. Injured (slap tear, biceps tenodesis, bone spur) in April, surgery in June, currently in recovery on leave. Today i just found out that my company (fortune 500 company) lost its contract with another fortune 500 company which means in turn that I will be losing my job when the contract expires at the end of October. I was told by my surgeon that I am looking at a full recovery time of 6-9 months given a perfect scenario. My last measurement at physical therapy has me behind schedule so I am currently assuming the full 9 months which would put me into March of next year. I have not contacted a lawyer during this time as my interactions with Sedgwick have been quick and pain free but given this shocking news I am quite worried about finding employment while still on restrictions.
Advice?
Thanks in advance.
