POST MOVED

Forgive me if posting related topic in existing (old) thread is not permitted...really don't need another LLT type butt chewing

Does NC have any such Tort rule or something similar?

EE was on WC since 7/07 working varied hours w/modified duty. Had surgery 2/08 and was on "filing duty" (at the job's direction) for 3 hours a day 5 days a week for the past 14 months. Suddenly the job tried to put him back to full time work cleaning (not his hired job nor "light duty"). This consisted of manual labor which caused one of the injuries in question. EE was trying to enforce his restrictions by asking for work within those limits but job kept taking advantage of his lack of English skills and lied, coerced and threatened him to do whatever they told him, often at risk to himself and others (have proof of same). His lawyer (no longer of record) also advised him to stick by his restrictions, give them a copy anytime they asked him to work over them and not do anything that was listed. Job fired him for "refusal to work" but he didn't refuse to work, just to do work outside of his restrictions.

Really could use as much info as possible on this matter for next week's hearing.
