Recently I went back to work after a elbow injury. Spent three weeks back with a small restriction. After going to doc after those three weeks. He put me on a permnament restriction of twenty pounds.

Went back to work and they told me a day later that they would inform the insurance company that they had no work with my restriction. I talked to them a few days later and found out that I can get unemployment.

Also the adjuster said that I would be getting a settlement out of this. Question I have is are they supposed to pay me weekly for my time loss? Or is unemployment the norm in a situation like this? I have no idea of the amount of time before the settlement money comes.

I reside in Iowa.

Thanks for any replies.
