Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

disgruntled employee threatening to sue.

I live in the state of Georgia. I own a small business with less then 3 employees. I am not required to carry WC. Two weeks after being fired for insubordination, the ex-worker called and asked for his job back, when I said no he said he suffered a hernia on the job. He said he plans on sueing me. But, a co-worker heard him talk about an already existing hernia prior to his release. He was employed with me for less then 30 hours. What can I do?

Re: disgruntled employee threatening to sue.

There is not really much do unless the former employee actually files a lawsuit. Unless you are willing to discuss a possible settlement with him, simply wait and see what he does. However, if you want to take more proactive approach, you can have an attorney send him a letter warning him not to sue with an invalid claim.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
