neglience on part of my employer

I was a supervisor for a government entity in california. I had an employee injure his back. I was told by my superiors It was my respondsibly to ensure he could comply with doctors orders of light duty and i did as instructed. this meant i had now a work load larger than my own as i had to pick up the slack for tasks he could not do. My superiors evan put him on a day shift made a job for him to do. now i had 2 employees work load instead of 11/2 employees duties. this went on for 9 months. @months after his resignation i hurt my back. I was put on light duty by the doctor no accommadations were made for me to be able to do light duty. my manager told me one evening that i had better hurry up & get well because people above her were pressuring her about my injury and thought maybe i should not have my job. i was shocked and i told her i could not heal up on her command because i was really hurt. My work life after that became a daily hell. i finally after 15 months f working with a doctor documented injury, being forced through threat of being fired for now after 5 years of service only good to above average evaluations, and not 1 complaint ever about me i became a bad employee so i was told my work comp doc took me off work perm
