Try doing a search on targetlaw. Read over their websites to see if they work on a contingency fee basis. I know personal injury lawyers do and I’m assuming personal injury is not far from workers comp.
Because you were laid off does not mean you were illegally
terminated. As long as all employees were treated in the same
manner…there is no discrimination. That your employer was
advertising for new hires doesn’t mean anything. Many employers lay
off or terminate, at will, long term employees with the intention
of reducing their benefits costs. New hires often are temp or
working less than 32 hours per week, part time it’s called, and
therefore are not eligible for the GHP/group health plan insurance
the employer may provide. There are any number of reasons an
empoyer may make “at will” employment decisions… that doesn’t
mean any of those are illegal. Begin a new job search, in earnest,
thats’ the best way to begin taking care of yourself, and family
again. Going back to work, sooner than later is in your best
interests.
