Re: injured
The employer can send your husband home, but the insurance company should pay him temporary disability benefits until he goes back to work. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
Re: injured
If your husband's employer does not have lite duty available, then they could send your husband home. Therefore, he should be entitled to temporary disability.
