Why was the DWC Form-73 considered incomplete for using “pain” to describe how the injury prevented the injured employee from returning to work?
“Pain” does not describe how the injury prevented the injured employee from returning to work. 28 Texas Administrative Code 129.5 (c)(4) requires an explanation of why the injury is preventing the injured employee from returning to work. Perhaps, a better description might be (pain medication makes him drowsy and unable to drive/work, injured employee is having surgery the next day, etc).
