Your employer can terminate you as long as you are not covered under any company leave policy or the Family Medical Leave Act. In order for you to be eligible for FMLA you must have been employed for a minimum of 1 year and worked 1,250 hours. Additionally, your company must employ at minimum 50 employees within the last calendar year. If you do not meet the requirements under FMLA or any company policy unfortunately you can be terminated as I am sure you reside in an Employee-At-Will state. However, this does not mean you are not eligible to apply for short term disability.
If you were in an accident while on your way to work and unable to contact them due to the accident. Unfortunately, they can still fire you but it is obviously not a place you want to work. They would be nothing more than a bunch of inconsiderate slobs. |

Yes, it's your responsibility to find a means of transportation to your job. Most employers would be understanding and not fire you, but they have the right to if you do a no-call, no-show. |

Yes they can. Others have mentioned FMLA - if you qualify for that, your job would be protected for 12 weeks, but not after that.
Good luck. |

Yes, if you are unable to work due to injury and you qualify for FMLA leave (have worked for the company for at least 12 months, and have worked 1,050 hours this year) and your company meets the requirements that they must follow FMLA guidelines, your job would not be protected. |

yes, employment is at will, with most questions like this usually it means you have run out of sick time , don't get sick time or have been warned about attendance in the past |

yes, they can. if you are a good worker with a track history of strong performance, the company would probably excuse such an incident - but if you are new, a poor performer, and/or have a history of attendance problems, they can fire you for not making it to work. |

No, if you have them notified immediately and how long will you be out of the office; and yes, if they are left unnoticed of what happened to you. |

No. In the first place, you were in an accident, In any company, NO ONE can ever control a traffic accident... these are activities/events beyond our control that NEEDS consideration from the management. |
