Re: was fired after hurting my back
You can be fired for any reason, or none at all, so long as you are not fired for a prohibited reason- during probation, you don't have much protection! However, if you were hurt at work, and were fired for filing (or potentially filing) a workers' compensation claim, then you are protected by law.
Speak to an experienced trial attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
