In March of 2003 as a was making my way from my car to the door at work, I slipped in the parking lot on ice and hit my head. My boss found me passed out in the parking lot, how long I was out I have no clue.
In the past year, I have done everything workers comp has told me to, seen the doctors they sent me to, took all test I was told to.....however at my boss's own admission my work habits changed, I could no longer multi task, my memory faded more each day, sitting at my dest until 5 daily became almost unbearable due to neck and head pain.
The last neurological test I had suggested I suffered a stroke when I fell............
Due to my lack of ability to preform my job as I had in the past, I was fired with no warning. During a two week medical leave as directed by my doctor, my boss sent me a letter registered mail letting me know effective immediatly, I was terminated.
Can one be fired for taking medical time off? Can one be fired for hurting themselves at work and filing a workers comp claim?
I feel I was fired for taking time off, and for not being able to preform my duties as I had for the prior 14 years due to my head injury.
Thank you for your time,
