Asked in Personal Injury and Landlord - Tenant for California

Q: Hi.I was at home with debilitating back pain for 20 months. I was doing back chiropractic exercises to get better. My

Mom took care of food. I couldnt stand for morr than a minute because the paind would be too bad and it would reverse my healing. My mom wants to kick me out. I understand i was a lot of burden but can she do that? I am referring to dependent adult neglect... can she just quit being my caretaker even if it means i cant support myself?

My back got this bad by eorking witha spinal problem for 3 years. It got worse gradually. I do not wish to get workers compensation and i would still need my mom...

A: If the injury occurred while you were working, you should immediately consult a workers compensation attorney. You may be eligible for temporary disability benefits that could help pay living expenses while you continue to heal.
