Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Is this legal? My Husband was injured on the job in Nov 2008, he was treated and was paid by workmans comp. In Mar 6th, 09 he called his insurance- Sedwick and re opened the case due to severe pain in the injured area. He was given an appt that day to see doctor. Two weeks later on the 16th, he was terminated for fabricated issues. AT that time my husband had already seen his doctor and had been placed on a no work status. Since then he has been treated by doctors and now they are recommending neoplasty surgery. Workmans comp has not and wont pay him his money due(66%) and will not approve his surgery. two doctors have recommended this. Due to the fact that they terminated him, they are says he is not eligible. Yet the day they terminated him I contacted their HR DEPT. and stated in writting that my husband was being implicated for things he never did. This is a very large company- World wide? What should we do?

You need to see a work comp lawyer. This can't be solved over a bullitin board posting and it is too complicated for you to solve without a lawyer. The laws the Republicans created here in Florida are designed to help the employer and screw the injured employee.
