Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

after injury on job was ask to wright letter day after I was laid off

i had accident(3-29-06) at work that resulted in hospital stay. i was told to knock beam down. i said we should not do that way someone would get hurt. i was told to knock it down anyway. the beam came down hit me in the neck. i was off work 6 wks. when i returned i wrote an investigation report for my accident. 9-12-06 i was told my vacation would be used for doctor. i said i would take without pay.(9-13-06) the next day i was ask to write letter and add names other than wittness. i didn't want to put names other than witness. owner said maybe i was not telling truth. after we had words i wrote letter. i told him i was mad because he never called to check on me,he never talked to me about the accident on how or what happened or how to prevent another one. then i said i thought he was chicken_ _ _ _ for not talking to me about accident or vacation. the next day(9-14-06) i got a fax saying i was laid off because of budget. (my pay was bid into the job). i was a construction foreman,carpenter & worked in office. recently he waived all drug test in hopes of getting more appilications for carpenters the job needed. i don't think i was laid off because of budget. i think if i would not have had the accident i would still have my job
