The lay off has to be independent from your injury meaning that if there was a plan to terminate you along with several other employees then your employer may justify it, otherwise it generally viewed as very suspicious and you can file a labor code 132 (a) request for penalty. Your worker's compensation case still continues to go forward even after your lay off. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
