You have a life time award for medical treatment [there is a conference going on this week in San Francisco among back specialists to discuss how effective back surgery is]. Since you were not able to return to work at the second job, if you take time off for the surgery and resting period thereafter,you should get TTD from your second employer.

You have to go after the second employer (where you were injured) and receive temporary disability benefits, paid medical treatment , paid future medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability benefits. If the insurance company denied your claim for temporary disability benefits, you may receive temporary benefits through EDD under state disability program. This will last you for one year. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
