Re: Should I Sue
you should certainly make a workers comp cliam against the company. If you were injured on the job, you are entitled to be compensated for the work related injury. Let me know which county you were working in , and I can refer you to a competent workers comp attny. You should only use those attny's that specialize in workers comp.
Re: Should I Sue
If you were hurt on the job and lost over 8 days of work, you are entitled to compensation.
It is against the law to fire a worker because the worker makes a worker's compensation claim.
