Sir:

The short answer is that yes, they can terminate your wife. It happens all the time. You need to know that she cannot collect unemployment and workers' comp weekly checks at the same time. The employer can take a credit for one if she gets the other. We would be happy to talk with you about the case free of charge. My office number is toll free 866.352.3311. We handle workers' comp. cases all over the State of Georgia. I am out of the office this morning but my paralegal can take your call after noon today and I can follow up with you later today.
