You need a Workers' Compensation Attorney. Call your local Bar Association and request the names of several Certified Specialists in Workers' Comp.
Re: Wrongful Term while on Work Comp
If you were terminated because of the stress claim, then you have a Labor Code 132(a) action. The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insurance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insurance companies have attorneys, why don't you? Attorney fees are limited by law to 9% to 12% of the final settlement or award. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
