Re: fired by company because of severe injury

I am not familiar with Texas law but this sounds like wrongful termination. I would contact your local county bar association and ask for a referral to a lawyer who handles workman's comp and wrongful termination cases. Most lawyers offer free consultations so you should be able to get some answers. Good luck.

Sincerely,

John Hayes, Esq.
