What is the name of your state? Calif
My husband passed on recently. I know there is a Presumptive Death claim in Calif for past law enforcement and Firefighters. My husband was a deputy Sheriff -- he had a heart attack while working in his patrol car several years ago and all that was covered by the Dept..
His recent death was from a heart attack, it was within the 5 year period of last date worked. He had had heart surgery for his valves which were in terrible condition -- he suffered for several years but did not learn how bad until 2 years before he passed, that is when he had his surgery.
How does one find out what one needs to do, what is the amount on the claim, is there a site that tells you this? Does one absolutely need an attorney or can one file just within the department?
Thank you in advance for any advice
