What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
I worked as a RN in a large hospital for 12 years as a float nurse, no benefits but great pay. I caught Lyme Disease last summer and became paralyzed from the Lyme bacteria in my spine. When my LOA ran out I was still in a wheelchair recovering and couldn't do my job as a floor nurse. My job fired me stating I had no more LOA and couldn't physically work. Since then people have been asking me if I'm going to sue, including my bankruptcy lawyer. They are all surprised when I tell them no. I don't think I'd have a case since I couldn't physically perform my duties, besides being in a wheelchair I had horrible tremors, memory problems, lots of pain and on many meds including narcotics. I couldn't apply for unemployment because you have to look for work to get paid, so I went on disability. Like I said, I don't think I'd have a case to sue, but others do, what is your opinion on this matter?
