they may find you employment, anywhere of similar distance from your home, similar to travel currently. The employment, MUST, be within your work restrictions. Employer is responsible to pay you at your workmans comp rate.

Can your employer lay you off if you are on workmens compensation?
yes
Do you lose your right to sue if you collect workmens compensation?
If your employer offers WC benefits and you qualify for them, you can never sue for your injury. You never had a "right" to sue.
Can you still receive workmens comp after quiting?
It depends on the policy of your employer...I believe.
Can you get workmens compensation if you were fired and getting unemployment benefits?
yes
Does workmens comp have the right to refuse benefits?
They do, if it is suspected (or proven) that the injuries you are claiming are not job related, or if your employer was not a part of the contributing pool of employers. If you disagree there are built-in appeal mechanisms to the initial decision.
What is workmens comp?
A insurance provided by employers for injured employees. There is a provision in Texas law whereby an employer may elect not to purchase workmens' comp insurance. About 33% of Texas employers do not have WC insurance.
If an employee dies on the job is this covered under Workmens Compensation?
It would depend on the cause of death. If the employer is at fault then yes.
Do you have to pay taxes on workmens comp checks?
no you don't these taxes have already been taken care of by the employer you are not responsible for said same
Can you sue your employer even if you are getting paid workmens compensation?
You can try. Only a lawyer who had heard your case could tell you if you had a case but you have the right to retain a lawyer if you feel that the employer has acted incorrectly.
If you are on workmens compensation do you have to take harassment from your employer on a weekly basis about when you will be able to go back to your job?
Harassment? If your employer if asking when you can go back to work, that's not really harassment. If your employer wants to see proof that you are out due to medical reasons, that's not harassment.
If your employer does not carry Workmens Comp can you get your own individual policy?
In most states the employer MUST carry Workmens Comp. It's the law. Check with your local wage and hour or whatever it's called in your state. Workmens Comp protects employees while on the job and pays for the medical costs when an accident occurs while at work. On the other hand, if you're talking about health insurance, employers are not required to carry medical policies for employees but many employers do because it is a good way to keep valuable employees from seeking other employment.
Do you need to pay benefits when on workmens comp?
You should be treated like any other employee when on WC. If others do, you do. If not, I don't know why you would be singled out.
