I suffered a serious work injury to my back and cannot get around my house easily. Is there anything I can do under workers’ compensation?

The Act provides that an injured worker may receive reasonable and necessary medical care. This includes “orthopedic devices” as recommended by a doctor and may include a car or van modified for the disability, moving to a new home, electric wheelchairs, stair glides or other similar devices. 

I have successfully represented individuals who needed a home spa, a mini-van with an electric ramp and even a new home with an elevator and ramps. There are very few limits to what medical devices can be obtained to assist injured workers who truly need them.
