Re: Do I have a case?/

You didn't mention if you had filed for worker's compensation benefits, but I would recommend that you do so, before you lose your rights due to the time limitations of worker's compensation. You stated you were "taken off completely", and I don't know what that means entirely, but if you were taken off benefits, you have the right to appeal that decision, or at least have an AME or QME (medical examiners) revisit the issue. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
