Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

My boyfriend is an inmate in the twin towers jail in down town los angeles.He works in the kitchen and the other day he got burn with boiling water from his waist down in the front side. He asked for help and the officers tooked their time to help him and he said da he was even bleeding. They didnt care about his situation and just send him back to his place until like an hour hour something they send him to the nurse. I checked online and noticed that the twin towers are being checked cause some other inmate had sue them for mistreating him and everything. What can we do to sue them to because what they did to him wasnt right.

Your boyfriend might have a workers' compensation injury. Yes, believe it or not, inmates who become injured while working during incarceration might be entitled to some workers' comp benefits.

That said, an injured inmate worker is not entitled to certain benefits while still incarcerated. Please contact me at 1.887.505.INJURY for a free consultation.
