Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

what becomes of my worker's comp claim upon merger

Hi,

I was injuired at work and no longer able to do the work I was hired to do ( for the last 11 months) and I have been put on worker's comp for almost a year now. Recently, the company got acquired and my current position is being terminated. If I had not be injuired, I would still be employed. What are my right?

Thanks.

THERE IS A PETITION FOR PENALTY UNDER LABOR CODE 132(a) FOR TERMINATION WHILE YOU WERE DISABLED AT WORK. YOUR EMPLOYER SHOULD HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ACCOMMODATE YOU OR SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH MODIFIED WORK. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FILE A LAWSUIT UNDER ADA (AMERICAN DISABLITY ACT).
