What is the name of your state? Illinois
I was hurt on the job. The doctor kept me off work for a couple of months, while trying to diagnose/fix my pain. During this time, I was fighting the company for workers' compensation. I won that case, stating that I WAS hurt on the job, but then they fired me due to missing too many days. I am now fighting for retalitory discharge (or wrongful firing). I am just wondering how long do they have to stall before HAVING to settle? It's already been almost 2 years!! I HATE this stuff!! I don't see how people do it all of the time!! I wish I would've never had to go through the first case!! So, my question once again, is .... How long does a Company have until they absolutely have to settle on a wrongful firing case?
