I was injured on job, WC doc wrote for light duty..I was unable to work due to pain..later MRI showed ruptured disc, torn ligaments, etc. .sent to ortho specialist, now going for epidural injection to spine but still no pay for 4 months

Answer

If your unable to work light duty, then you should be receiving temporary disability, which equals 2/3 of your average weekly wage. Maybe your case is denied? Call me for a free consultation at 1-877-505-injury.

Answer

You should be able to receive either temporary disability benefits or State Disability benefits (SDI). It is always easier to receive SDI since insurance company and/or your employer have no control on it as long as a doctor is willing to certify you for disability.
