Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Re: Fired while in the hospital

Sherry and Scott have good advice for you. You should seek an attorney's advice. Prior to opening my own practice I worked for a company that pursued insurance companies, employers and other third party payers for hospitals when they belived that a patient's claim was wrongfully denied. I have seen situations such as yours many times. I do not want to frighten you but you face a very limited period of time to act.

Re: Fired while in the hospital

You will need to consult with an attorney. Meanwhile, avoid discussing any of the facts on a public forum, like this one, or with anyone else.

Re: Fired while in the hospital

There is usually not a reason to be overly paranoid about not mentioning the situation with anyone. You simply need to make sure you don't sign anything, and watch what you say to the company, lawyers or insurance company. Many such matters could not be resolved without paying a lawyer if one could not speak about it. If/when you see an attorney, make sure they specialize in this area of law. It is not a case for lawyers who claim to do anything and everything. A qualified lawyer may be able to resolve it much more promptly.
