What happens if i find a new job while under the care of Workers Comp? In some scenarios, you may wonder if you should look for work elsewhere. Maybe you feel the employer will discriminate against you if you go back to that same employer? Or maybe you are unsure if you still have a job or not? Whatever the scenario, youre free to look for work elsewhere but you may want to contact a lawyer before you do so to discuss your options. Generally speaking, if the employer that you were working for when you're injured no longer has a job for you, you're free to find another job.
