If your husband didn't get his regular pay for the time he was out of work, he is probably entitled to temporary total disability ("TTD") benefits for that period. If he hasn't gotten either, he needs to file a claim for the TTD, as soon as possible. One place to find a lawyer who can help you file that claim is our website, http://attorneypages.com
In most states, TTD benefits are 2/3 of the injured employee's regular pay.
