You can draw workers’ compensation pay in Albany until you have recovered from your injuries or your permanent disability becomes apparent and you settle with the insurance company, but the maximum limits of between 225 and 525 weeks, which may depend on the specific policy covering your injury, may govern how long you can continue to draw workers’ compensation benefits. Your employer cannot fire you while you draw workers’ compensation pay, nor can your employer terminate your workers’ compensation when you still need additional time to recover from your injuries. If your employer does try to force you out or tries to convince you to terminate payments, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible to learn more about your rights.
