You need to speak with an employment law attorney immediately. While I doubt you have a workers comp claim, you may very well have a claim for wrongful discharge. You have not provided many facts, so it is not possible to know at this time. You may also be eligible for unemployment benefits. Bottom line: speak with an attorney soon!
