Re: did they brake any laws

Your employer should have provided you with a list of MPN doctors for further treatment. If this was not timely done, then you had the right to a doctor outside of MPN and if you were not able to do your work, then you should have been taken off work and receive temporary disability benefits. It appears that none these has been done. As far as your termination you are still entitled to the same benefits and also petition for penalty under labor code 132(a).

You are gong to need an attorney to sort this out becuase it reads like your employer may not have comp insurance. You should file a claim.
