Re: fired after auto accident

If the last act of racial discrimination was within the last 300 days, you can file a claim at the Mass. Commission Against Discrimination. Yoiu can also discuss whether the assignment to watch over a dangerous facility even though you were so injured you couldn't defend yourself, may be disability discrimination because the employer did not make reasonable accommodation for your injury. You should also apply for unemployment-you give the facts and you may receive benefits even though employer will say he fired you for good cause.
