It depends on your state of residence. Usually there is no protection of your job when you are on workers compensation.

Most employers do not need a reason to fire you, being as most states are "at will" based employment. Having a workers comp case may be a different story. You should contact your states Worker's Comp Board and ask to speak to an advocate. Good Luck!!

That's really sad that employers will do that to a person that has invested all that time with a company. Get yourself a good attorney. good Luck *california

No they can't, most workman's compensation lawyers will review your case for free, and not charge you until you win your case. I suggest you contact your state bar association and ask for a recommendation per your situation.
