Re: seizures
In order for your seizures to be covered by workers compensation your seizures would have to be caused by an accident at work or possibly an occupational disease. The mere fact that your seizures happened at work does not mean your work caused the seizures. You may want to contact the EEOC to file a handicappped complaint because your Employer fired you while you were handicapped without offered you a job with an accomadation. Call EEOC at 804-278-4651. You can call me at 804-358-4766 or 800-256-8862.
