When you're injured on the job, returning to work isn't always a simple process. Many employers offer modified work assignments—temporary roles or responsibilities tailored to your medical restrictions—as a way to ease you back into the workplace.

Back injuries are among the most common—and most debilitating—workplace injuries. Whether caused by heavy lifting, repetitive movements, or a sudden accident, these injuries can severely impact your ability to earn a living and maintain your quality of life. Fortunately, California’s workers’ compensation system provides crucial benefits to help you recover physically and financially.

Returning to work after an injury can feel like a major step forward—but it also comes with important questions about your health, your job, and your rights. Whether you’re easing back into your role or facing pressure to return before you’re ready, it’s crucial to understand both your legal protections and your employer’s responsibilities

When a worker is injured on the job in California, one of the most important factors in their workers’ compensation case is the disability rating assigned to their injury.
