Have you filed a worker's compensation claim, obtained temporary disability benefits, and a final settlement? You are also entitled to vocational rehabilitation benefits, i.e., you are to be trained into a new position of comparable pay. You are to recieve benefits during the training. Please get represented to assert your rights. You may contact me directly at (619) 222-3504.
