    Worker's comp doesn't provide any job guarantees, beyond your not being able to be fired in retaliation for filing a claim. If you had FMLA leave, it ended after 12 weeks.

    A five year worker's comp battle, and you don't have a lawyer yet? What's up with that?

    Yes, there is a time limit after which the employer does not have to take you back, and you passed that limit 4 years and nine months ago.

    There are other options besides going back to the same employer, retiring, or taking permanent disability.
