Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Medical leave employment termination

Prior to being hurt in a fall that has left me unable to work or walk for an extended period of time I was informed verbally by my employer that my position was being eliminated as of 6/30/07 but they would help me find a new job. After the accident I received a letter telling me my last date of employment would be 8/29/07. What legal avenue can I pursue to get disability, medical, leave, etc.? What rights do I have? Recovery may not be complete as of 8/29 and previous job required physical labor I may not be able to perform. The employer is a state agency and I have been employed with them for over 20 years.

You should advoid discussion of your case with anyone, especially former co-workers, employer representatives and insurance company representatives.
