Workers compensation provides benefits. There may be a connection between this surgery and workers compensation. Hire a workers compensation lawyer. They work on contingent fees and those fees must be approved by the state. So there is no downside to doing that. Plus many of them handle social security disability claims and can provide excellent suggestions on timing and longer term planning. Good luck. He really should have a comp lawyer on his side.
