Re: wrongful terminaton
Maybe. If you're on TTD, the employer can't terminate you solely for absenteeism, or retaliate against you for having filed a claim. The statute has a strict time limit for notifying the employer of a violation, and then filing suit. I have a case like this right now where we represent an employee. Please call if you would like to discuss.
