Your husband should immediately consult with a workers' compensation lawyer. Time periods for notifying an employer of a work injury and then filing a claim for benefits are relatively short. Time is of the essence. As for SSI and/or Workers' Compensation, I handle numerous such disability cases. Feel free to contact me for a no cost no obligation consultation at (412) 471-6463 or (800) 433-9700
