What is the name of your state? South Carolina. I was terminated from my job recently due to failing a drug screen (cocaine) at my place of employment. I was administered an oral swab and the specimen was mailed to a lab, which notified me about a week later that I had come up positive for cocaine, a drug I have never used.. I was effectively and imediately terminated despite my protestation that I be retested. I took it upon myself to pay for a hair test following my termination because a hair drug test will identify drug use further into the past than any other form of drug screen. Of course, the hair test came back negative for cocaine. I am not interested in having my employment restored at my previous employer, however, I am interested in suing the lab that my employer used for defamation, or perhaps more specifically, slander. Do I have a winnable case?
