What is the name of your state? California
I´m a Swedish Law Consultant for a Swedish client who got injured when he was working in California on a farm.
In a machine, which was not safe (neither had the employer been giving any instructions to the employees on how to avoid injuries from the machines at the farm), my client´s left foot got smashed.
He went to the doctor that the employer sent him too, but the employer, and also told my client to do so, lied to everyone about how the injury occured. The insurance paid for all the surgery´s in US and my client tought the foot was going to be fine.
But when he got back to Sweden and saw a doctor a while after it was no doubt that the damage on the left foot was permanent, and he got a disability certificate as proof.
My question is therefore, how do you get disability money from your employer in California? Is there any other money to get?
The injury took place summer 2002, but the disability wasn´t discovered until 2004.
Please say if you need more information to evaluate my case and I will post it.
