Can I go look for another job while filing for workers comp?



    




I am me.
Yes, but be careful. You will want to talk to you doctor to make sure that this job is suitable for you "disability" If your employer finds out that is paying you the WC they will try to get your WC stopped so make sure you talk to your doctor/lawyer before starting a new job while on WC

YES
But if you're filing, is this for loss of digit, flat rate payment or disability or what?
If so unable to work, then you shouldn't be filing for job
But if you know you CAN work after a set time, then it's best to start applying now

Here is the problem with your question. Can you do it? Yes. Should you do it is another question since you did not give any details about your injury.

You mean while you are on WC disability? Yes, but once you accept another job, your disability will likely end.
