HEre too, they don't have to keep "HIS" position open, but they CANNOT "terminate" either, their must be a job, any job at the same pay rate as when he got hurt, when he is ready to go back to work. In other words, if he was a truck driver and there are no truck driver positions, then, they must find him a job, even a janitor job AT THE SAME PAY RATE !!!

I am sorry to hear that your husband lost his job after he was injured.

Beth,

This may be a long shot... But there is a Dr. Elkwood (I believe in NJ) who has done some tremendous things for victims of a TBPI. The community of OBPI doctors is very tight - I imagine the community of specialists who treat TBPI is much the same. Maybe you could call his office, ask if you could please speak with Dr. Elkwood (or have him call you back), and tell him your situation. He probably knows who could help you in your state.

Good luck in your search. I'm so sorry your family is having to go through this - but you have found a very good place to come for support.
