Re: work Injury
You have the right to be taken off work while you are treating and receive temporary disability benefits. As far as releasing, I recommend not to sign it and not to give any statement. You will be much better off to be represented by an attorney in a deposition setting when you are adequately prepared for the deposition. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
