On October 3 2015, Federal Workers’ Compensation attorney Alan J Shapiro was a featured speaker at the Workers’ Injury Law and Advocacy Group (WILG) conference in Chicago.
The topic was “Workers’ Compensation Fraud”. The essence of the speech demonstrates the necessity for a claimant, who is not back to work within 90 days to consult legal counsel to determine what activities the claimant may engage in while receiving benefits. i.e. Can a claimant visit a sick relative in another city or country? May a claimant hunt alligators? May a claimant go to the supermarket? May a claimant lift weights at a gym? May a claimant take a vacation? May a claimant continue with a job or business that he/she had before injury. May a claimant follow the legal instructions of a medical clinic? May a claimant engage in Union activities? May a claimant dance at their child’s wedding? May the claimant walk his/her dog? May the claimant take his girlfriend to a gambling resort?
Attorney Shapiro stated: “When a claimant is receiving Workers’ Compensation, he or she is NOT on vacation.”
