Legal Question in Disability Law in California
Americans with Disabilities
I am being forced to medically retire after 14 years at LAUSD: 1) because I can no longer work with a permanent injury i received on the job 2) I am now on Dialysis and cannot work due to illness.
Can someone please help me medically retire WITH benefits? Medical retirement leaves me with no health insurance yet serious health issues. It also leaves me with less than 1/3 of my current income. Is this acceptable. How can MEDICAL retirement leave you with no medical insurance?? Please help.

If your permanent disability happened at work, you may qualify for some future medical treatment paid by your employer in addition to s settlement for your worker's Compensation case. If rating of your disability turns out to be more than 70% then you will be entitled to receive a life pension. Call us at 213.388.7070 if you need representation for your worker's Compensation case.
