15 years without a raise... poor guy.
I never had much sick leave... not sure this makes sense. I doubt many companies could afford to pay it.

I'm throughly sick of malingerers like this guy.. always greedy for more..
It would not be considered as sick leave here. It would have to be reviewed and approved for disability for our disability payment to be allowed. I have never heard of case like that, that much money per year.
There would have to be a workmans comp claim that provided that amount for life. In other words the company where he worked would have taken the responsibility for his injury and agreed to pay him that amount until he passed. This would all have done through the court system. It is called a settlement between the employer and employee.
If he settled in this situation for this amount of money per year. He has done that it appears but he has already settled and closed the claim in court and is not due additional compensation His legal team should have accounted for inflation and healthcare in the original lawsuit. He agreed to the terms of his claim.
Now, if he wants more he would have to sue the law firm which is ridiculous considering he would have had to sign off on the legal contract presented to the court. Just my IMO!

I had to have a similar agreement when I couldn't work as a RN anymore, though not as generous. I was given a percentage of my pay when I retired, due to disability. And yeah, what seemed great in 2001; in 2023, ain't so much anymore.
Of course, the judge threw the case out, the dumb ass agreed to the payment terms in writing.

Wow, I hadn't thought about that. When I worked we had optional long term disability insurance that we could pay for (small amount out of each paycheck) that would pay 60% of our salary if we became disabled (or, per the small print, would cover the difference between whatever disability pay we got from Social Security and 60%). It never occurred to me that it would be gradually eaten away by inflation, I don't think we had any option to have it tied to inflation.
