WC co has excepted the claim and Larry has already been paid by our ins through temp disability It has been 4 wks since the 3rd dr appt and has not been asked to come back to work even though all 3 drs have released him He just now rec'd a letter on 9/17 saying he is terminated eff 8/14 How can Co. fire him before the 3rd dr appt? How can co. wait so long before sending him the termination. Do we have a case?
