Question: Is it true
that if I retire early I'll get a worker's compensation?I had l4@5 s1 disk replaced with 4 rods attached to spine I
have my retirement papers ready to take my disability retirement but was told
since I'm on a light duty status if I retire first I will not be able for a
worker's comp settlement. Is this true?
Answer: If you voluntarily retire, you no longer have a legal "wage loss" so you may well be disqualified. The best thing to do is hire an experienced workers compensation attorney to negotiate a settlement before you even talk to your employer about retirement.
