What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
I was recently let go from my job, on the day before I was terminated I had taken my daughter to the doctor because she had a rash that we were treating previously, after taking her the doctor I had called my supervisor and explained that she was treated for scabies, again I said treated not that she had scabies but the doctor wanted to rule out this cause before we could go any further, my supervisor then asked "what is that?" I told her what the doctor had told me in confiedientiality. So when I return to work everyone had asked me is it true does your daughter have scabies and this includes all of my coworkers, I was so humilated and devastated that she would give out my information to my peers. I have a friend who still works there and they are telling her don't touch my stuff because its highly contagious, and spraying my desk with lysol. Is this right? Don't I have the right to my privacy? I sent an email to the president of the company with my complaint and immediatly the director of HR called me apologizing, this doesnt make up for my reputation and the humiliation of my daughter!!! Is there something I can do? I have called an attorney and he stated he will try to get them to settle, The question I am asking is do I have a case? And how much of a settlement?
