Hi Riding Roller Coaster,
I am very sorry about what's happened to you.
Seems like you should have some protection due to your injuries; however, each state has its own labor laws.

In addition to suggestions above, you might check in with your state's labor board at www.nclabor.com

See the Legal Affairs Division Info. Here: http://www.nclabor.com/legal.htm
See the "Retaliatory Employment Discrimination Act and Administrative Rules"
listed on that page as well, in order to see if anything applies to your situation.


For specific statutes pertaining to workers comp in N.C.: http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/statu....pl?statute=97

In most states, the Dept. of Labor will answer your questions if you call them and explain your situation.

In states where employees are "employees at will," the employer does not need cause to let an employee go. I do not know the laws in North Carolina.

It does not hurt anything to call the Dept. of Labor and ask some questions.

I hope your Workers Comp continues to meet your needs.

Best Wishes,
DejaVu
