Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

To mr stien

The workers comp doctor realesed me to full duty no restrictions and I have been doing

My job in pain but doing the best I can but like I stated I only work 4hrs a day so the numbers

Of cars I service depends on how many cars come in as a matter of fact my store manager

Only wanted me to do oil changes he didnt want me to further harm myself so letting me

Go for productivity doesnt make sense to me I never turned down a ticket no matter what

Kind of work it was. Even before I got injured he would tell me to give a good

Ticket to the flat rate techs that I was hourly so this is why im frustrated so do I have

A wrongful firing case.

Unfortunately not. Florida is an "at will" state meaning am employer can fire an employer for just about any reason other than race, religion, age. It does not appear that he fired you because you filed the WC claim and he did attempt to accomadate you although there are no restrictions.

You have a valid w/c claim and if you are having physical problems, if you have never used your one time change, you can get another doctor to asses the injuries/. As for an alleged wrongful firing, without restrictions, the termination could never be challenged as being due to your pursuit of a valid w/c claim. Have someone review all your medicals records and stop trying to get the answer in this forum, it wont work. Call me if you need help and get all your medical records.
