What is the name of your state? California

I was injured on the job and required surgery to repair an abdominal hernia.
After about 8 days my boss was at my front door telling me that if I did not
get in my truck and get back to work he was going to give my truck to someone else and when I finnaly do show up there might not be a truck available for me. So I did what he told me to do, I got dressed and got in my truck and went back to work. After a short while (7-10days) , while at work performing my usual duties, my stitches opened up and my intestines began forcing out of my abdomin causing a large bulge in my abdomin. When I told my boss about it he shruged it off like it was no big deal. However, that night while I was at home sleeping he had my truck picked up from in front of my house and taken back to the shop. When I called the office to see what happened to the truck I was told that I was fired for stealing. He claimed he knew nothing about any re-injury and stuck to his story that I was fired for stealing. I want to sue him for what he has done to me, but I may have waited too long to act. My workmans comp case is still active and I am still on temp. total disabillity. I feel I was wrongfully terminated, slandered, and he was negligent forcing me back to work before I had fully recovered. What can I do? Who can help me?

Hire an attorney! If you did in fact have a WC injury and you did not do anything to be fired then you may have basis for a wrongfull termination suit! In the mean time see your doctor and follow the doctor's orders and no one else! A hernia can be very serious if not taken care of.

Good luck!
