Not typically. There is a statute that prevents an employer from terminating or threatening to terminate while you are pursue a worker's compensation case. That said, as long as the termination is not because of the pursuit of the workers compensation case, than termination is possible for instance if FMLA time expired and you cannot work. Seek some legal guidance with your actual facts. This is a highly complicated area. good luck .
