Hurt on the job?

I started a new job, in which I hurt my back. I had only worked for 3 days. The employer has a terrible history with employees, and I will be another... I went to the doc two days in a row for my back, but I only took one day off to go to the doc, and I got fired. Can I file a suit against this bi***? She is the reason I am hurting now. And yes, she fired me because I went to the doc. As fate would also have it, my husband and I were looking to buy a new house and I put her down on an app, but apparantly she told the mortagage company that I didn't work for her. What a COW!!! Can she get away with all this?

To answer your questions:

Yes, they can fire you. You are entitled to file a claim for w.comp. benefits to be treated for your injury.

Yes, she can tell a mortgage company you no longer work for them if that is true

You can file a workmen's comp claim and she will be responsible for your medical bills if you in fact were injured on the job. A lawsuit for firing you....don't think so. You can file a complaint with the Dept of Labor.

File a workers comp claim.

It is illegal to fire some one for an injury on the job
you were in the probationary period
