Re: injured on job and let go before claim

whether you have a claim under teh FMLA depends upon the number of employees and the number of hours you have worked for the employer and whether you have taken any prior FMLA in the past year. You may even have a better claim under Florida Statutes 440.205 which provides that an emloyee may not be terminated for filing a w/c claim. Feel free to call or e-mail my office to discuss further.
