Can I get fired after a work related injury?


Making a loooong story short here with as many details as poss. I was tripped by my boss. Her boss be called by me 5 times. He talked to her she then talk to me. Basicly said that i was going to be fired eventualy as she said she will do what she needs to do. her boss tells me today that, i wasnt hurt within and nothing happend and I have to prove it did happen in that. I said theres a cam look at the vid. STUPID me. I didnt think about him maybe erasing it. Anyway... He told me to transport an asprin and get over it. That everyone says all i ever do is complain of misery. I told him that its due to my hip or my headaches, which myboss knew I was have issues with mirgaines. So...i called today and found out i was fired. I figure I would be. Is there anything I cando: i filed apolice report. He said that they cant fire me if im injured even if they say it didnt start there. They also cant refuse WC even if they think it didnt come about there. He wasnt happy about this crap going on. He told me to directory EEOC, did it, OSHA, did it, ACLA? and Labor Board in the Feb building. I did see a doc the next day said i have a sprained neck...have papers. went for follow up today said same article. I have done all I know to do. I also found out 3-5 months ago I hae ADHD, and have be harassed about that. I told her boss nothing be done. I do have somehing saying i was injured. I f I stipulation to get all my paper collection I will. THERE is NO way I didnt do this are work. I live in IN lol Forgot...they refuse to grant me any papers. They like I said, say it never happend or I didnt get hurt, in attendance is no way I got hurt. ITs or was adjectives on CAM!!!

Unbeleivable! Aside from reporting the injury to your employer, the first article you should have done was go to the doctor and enlighten them you had a work related injury. Their office would have contacted your employer to acquire their work comp insurance info and the work comp company would have made sure that the employer filed a first report of injuries to start working on your claim. As an HR manager, I own seen fraudulent claims come through from employees, often the ones who are already poor performer. But even if that is what your employer thinks you have done, they should hold filed the report and let their ins company adjudicate. That is what I would have done. If they be confident in their position, they would not worry that the ins company would figure it out. To address the request for information of whether you can be fired... Yes and no. FMLA laws appy in work related injury situations as well. If you do not qualify for FMLA evacuate, an employer does not have to hold your job if you are disabled and no reasonable accomodation can be made so that you can verbs in your position. Look up FMLA to learn more. Oh, and if you happen to live surrounded by CA, your employer is probably in even more hot water. Look up CA EDD.
Have you seen a doctor for your injuries? Without a doctor showing you received treatment for the injuries, what would you be suing for? There is no WC claim to be filed. They could come up with any number of reason for letting you go, without it being the truth. Best of luck.
of course not. even if you did not get hurt there you cannot be fired short just cause or other legal cause. File a cause in the labor and let them toy with it
where do u work my friend? don't u own anything called work incident report? all accidents and drills are record in that. and what about the doctor. if u sustained any injuries wheres the doctors report or certificate? if u can support these facts next to an evidence then u might have a tough time fighting ur employer.
