Legal Question in Discrimination Law in California
Injured at work, being laid off... I'm 72!!!
I injured myself at work last week, a box fell on me and hit me in my eye. My employer said to me that i was getting old and as time goes by i was going to have more acidents because i was old. He then told me i have one month left of work. He had someone at work apply for social security for me to retire. I know that i am still ale to work and so not want to retire. What rights do i have?
i am wrighting on behalf of my grandfather.

It sounds like age discrimination. He also have a worker's compensation case against his emplyer for his work=related injuries. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

Grandfather has a Workers Comp claim, and a discrimination claim if he can prove what he says. Feel free to have him contact me to discuss his rights and remedies; I've been doing such cases for over 20 years.

Your grandfather should make an appointment with an attorney. It sounds like age discrimination.
