citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

An insurer shall adhere to the following priorities in returning an injured employee to work:

1. Return the injured employee to the job the injured employee had before his or her injury.

2. Return the injured employee to a job with the employer the injured employee worked for before his or her accident that accommodates any limitation imposed by the injury.

3. Return the injured employee to employment with another employer in a job that uses the injured employee’s existing skills.

4. Provide training for the injured employee while the injured employee is working in another vocation.

5. Provide formal training or education for the injured employee in another vocation.
