Yes it is legal as long as done peacefully without
harassment. After an injury, you should
always consider the possibility you may be under surveillance. Be careful not to violate your doctor
restrictions, unless you want to see yourself on camera doing something that
you and your doctor said you couldn’t do.
After you have been injured on the job, your doctor should tell you what
activities are safe to do and what activities will aggravate or worsen your
injury. If your doctor has not told you
what your restrictions or limitations are, or your current work status, talk to
your doctor today and let your attorney know.
Do not violate doctor’s orders. If you do not follow your doctor’s orders and
instructions, your injury could get worse, and the insurance company could
gather evidence to make it look like you aren’t as hurt as you and your doctor
say you are. We all want our injuries to
get better, not worse. And here at Chhabra
& Gibbs, we want you to heal and get better as soon as possible. So follow your doctor’s instructions, even
when you are tempted to perform the activities you could perform before your
injury. If you do not follow your
doctor’s instruction and you are violating your restrictions, the Judge may not
require your employer to pay for future medical treatment caused by the
aggravation of your injury, and your lack of credibility may cost you your
rightful disability payments.
