Re: unlawful termination

I would have to know more about your employment and the reasons for termination. Have you talked to a Worker's Comp attorney? Were you injured in the accident?

Re: unlawful termination

You may have a wrongful termination case based on disability and a labor code 132(a) penalty, if you had any injury as the result of the company- truck accident.It appears that you are an at-will employee meaning that an employer may terminate you for a good cause (or strange it may seem) no cause at all. But not a bad cause (such as discrimination and etc.). Call us at 213.388.7070 to discuss the facts of your case.
