High blood pressure is inherited. Sometimes you may have elevated blood pressure due to stress, etc. But, to be diagnosed with high blood pressure is inherited. You cannot sue. If the place was so hostile you could have left at any time and didn't. Don't have a leg to stand on.

NO, grow up and move on with your life.

Sure you can, you can sue for any reason. But you will need to prove that your blood pressure was high while working there, and since being fired it's dropped and other things like that.

I hope you have a little black book of incidences you can show to a lawyer.

no, high blood pressure is caused by bad eating and runs in your family. nice try though.

The issue is, why did they fire you? Maybe you can sue for that and tack the blood pressure thing on for your troubles.

File a complaint with the State first. If the state will take your case then you might not need a private attorney or a private attorney will take your case. Keep all records, names, etc.
Why go back you can draw your unemployment and be retrained also. Why go back to something that can kill you.
Explain to your doctor everything you can about this job.
Pray more and talk less.

It USUALLY takes two to create a hostile work environment....and since you didn't say WHY it was hostile, I cannot say that IT was the cause of your high blood pressure---you could have been born with it and it was dormant until after you were fired, or you may have had it all along but didn't have it CHECKED until after you were fired..... the firing may not have set off your high blood pressure at ALL... and, if the reason you were fired was JUSTIFIED (and usually firings happen for a REASON), then no lawsuit on your behalf would hold up in court.....

I think there are several issues that need to be addressed before you consider sueing 1. How old are you? 2. How long did you work there? 4. Why were you fired? 5. How do you define hostile?

No you can't sue. Just get another job.

Not a lawyer, however you can sue for anything u like, the question is will you and and will they counter-sue you. But in this case you will proabley be asked why didn't you quit or did you file any complaints with your boss' or the employment security commission. Even if you did all this you would have to prove that the high-blood pressure was a result of the job. Good luck, but I don't think you have anything.

no you can not sue but you can get medical benefits if you are disabled.
Dont waste your time, you will only end up with legal bills.
Possibly even face a counter suit for a frivolous lawsuit and harassment of your former employer.
Just move on

Definately sue. And don't warn them either. That's what they get for condoning hostile behavior.
By-the-way, the people above who think high blood pressure is only caused by bad genes or bad living don't know what they are talking about. It has been scientifically proven that continued high stress does cause many things, including high-blood pressure.
And people do sue for this and win all the time.
