I was driving a company car while on duty and was rammed by another vehicle who promptly sped away.
My company sent me to their (Company) doctor who examined me, did xrays etc. I was told I had 2 bulging disks
but that I was okay. (Doctor's diagnosis) I was paid 13 weeks of Worker's Comp then told by my employer that
I must accept a light duty job 1 1/2 hours from my home.
I complained that I was still in much pain and there was no way I could take the 1 1/2 drive each way per day.
I was promptly terminated.
Questions:
Is there a statute of limitations? This happened over a year ago I cannot work. I am still in severe pain.
What are my options? Is my previous employer liable for my medical?
Can I be compensated for lost wages and/or pain and suffering?
Thanking everyone in advance!!!
