Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
Recipient of Workers Comp Develops Dementia
A friend was injured on the job 22
months ago. He is presently receiving
workers Comp paid-for hospital
treatment for physical disabilities
arising from a physical on-the-job
injury. Unfortunately, not only has
he failed to recover, and it appears
that he never will recover from the
physical disabilities, he has lapsed
into a state of dementia. Does
worker's comp continue to be
responsible for his care?

Re: Recipient of Workers Comp Develops Dementia
I would recommend that your friend seek counsel. More likely than not, the insurance company will dump your friend off to the side. Please have a representative of your friend contact my office for a free consultation at 818.385.0520.
Re: Recipient of Workers Comp Develops Dementia
Yes, since the dementia was caused and manifested by a work-related injury. Your friend should immediately amend his WCAB claim and application and add dementia as an injury. Feel free to call us for a free consultation about your case.
