Is it lawful for a company to fire my husband after an injury?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
When you can fire someone after an injury can be complicated. If an employee has worked at a company for more than a year, the Family Medical leave act provides that you get up to 12 weeks leave for a serious illness. A serious illness is an illness that requires you to be out more than 3 days or requires ongoing treatment by a physician. Thus, if you have been there a year, and the injury fits the definition of serious illness, you cannot be fired for being out. You can be fired for violating safety rules or any other reason, but not for being out sick. If you have been there less than a year, they can fire you for being out even if you are under a doctor's care. As for hiring a lawyer, you can. However, your damages in a suit, if you have one, are lost wages, which is what you would have earned had you not been fired minus any earnings at a new job. If he is making the same or more than he made at his old job, he has no damages to sue for.

Is my employer responsible for an auto accident on my way home from work?

Answered by attorney Brett Edward Rosenthal (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Graves Law Offices
Your uninsured motorist coverage would cover this, assuming you had such coverage. If not, your employer's worker's compensation insurance MAY cover it, but you would have to be deemed in the course and scope at time of the accident and generally going to and coming from work is not considered course and scope, but there are lots of exceptions. Need worker's compensation attorney.

What rights does my husband have if he was left a quadriplegic after a construction accident 21 years ago?

Answered by attorney David W. Hibbert (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Law Offices of David W. Hibbert
He should have been found to have catastrophic injuries from your description. If a claim was never made , then I'm afraid there is no relief other than Social Security disability. These are matters that are specific to your state. It's likely too late for further compensation under workers compensation laws, however you should consult a Workers Compensation specialist in your state (or the state where he was living 21 years ago).
