I really like to know the end results when you find out if you don't mind posting them. |

I know nothing about Workers Comp claims (Doesn't apply to my industry), but since you were already injured, wouldn't that limit your employer's liability in this situation? |

First thing would be to submit the claim, and see the designated company physician. |

There is the "eggshell plaintiff rule" that could come into play here. » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eg ··· ll_skullA quick read from an MA Attorney's Blog- » www.cdlawpartners.com/Me ··· ts.shtmlA much longer treatise - » moritzlaw.osu.edu/studen ··· sher.pdfOf course it differs in each State. For more info. use the search string 'eggshell plaintiff rule' Good luck in your endeavors and happy healing! Hope I have been helpful. |

FWIW, i had a very similiar situation. I fell and hurt my back in the snow and was put on light duty. They had me pull a transmission out of a mack ch model truck and i hurt it worse. I went out of work for three months on workmans comp and than they fired me when my back was healed and it was time to go back. Your state as in mine they can fire you for pretty well anything if your white and healthy. From that i was able to get unemployment tho. |

What reason did they give for firing you?
Actually, Pennsylvania isn't a right to work state and New Mexico is and in many cases that's a big difference. |
