• An attorney’s dilemma
• A trustee’s discovery
• A family’s wish
• An employer’s responsibility

• The challenge
  An employer contacted us with an increasingly common problem: a young man had been out of work due to a back injury for nearly 5 months, and there were no clear signs of progress in rehabilitation. He had not accepted the offer to return to work on a modified duty basis, nor had his physician prescribed physical therapy.
• The success
  We immediately set up a meeting with the employee and physician to learn about the barriers to the young man’s return to work. Soon after, we facilitated an appointment for the employee to see a spine specialist and pain management physician. Within weeks, the young man had returned to work part-time, and full-time just three months later.
