Re: Notice given
Chances are, they're going to use the post termination defense. However, this can be overcome if your employer had clear notice of your injury prior to your termination.
Without knowing more, it would be impossible to further advise you. Should you desire legal counsel, please feel free to contact my office at, 818.385.0520.
post termination claim
More than likely the employer will present a post termination defense with respect to your cliam. Without the specifis, it is difficult to say which way the case will go. I recommend that you seek assistance, either from the I&O or an attorney.
