As a part of worker's compensation benefits, you are entitled to Temporary disability benefits. You need to be referred to a doctor to certify you for disability. You have options. In addition to temporary disability benefits, you are entitled to a settlement for permanent disability and future medical treatment. Your termination also appears to be unlawful and you can file a petition for penalty for wrongful termination. Please Call me at 213-388-7070 for a free consultation.
