im going through some major issues at the moment with work, and wondering if i have a case or not.
as some of you may know, last monday i was injured on the job. while at work i was passing buckets of cement up 3 levels of scaffolding when the new worker atour job threw an empty bucket down off of the top level to me instead of dropping it, forcing it to land on top of me. when i went to shield my head, the bottom of the bucket spun down, and clipped the front of my hair line instantly splitting my head open. upon going to the hospital i recieved 4 stitches and was diagnosed with a mild to severe concussion, and recieved orders to stay home untill the stitches were removed. (my boss was forced to pay for this injury). upon leaving the hospital i called my boss, during this conversation he said literally nothing, told me he would cqall me later and hung up on me. 4 days passed with a telephone call so i called him back, where he again ignored me and hung up. me stitches were removed monday ((1 week later) and i was told there was no jobs for me on tuesday, wednesday, and when i called him today he told my brother to come in who i work with, and not me. it is possible that he is firing me but will not directly say it to me.
thats the story and here is a little info about my work.
the company is Paul's Cement. a private contractor with full licences, and been a business for about 70 years. very legit,, very prestigious company.
now with that said, if i was to take this man to court, would i have a case? i am willing to call my lawyer and go th full route with this if possible, however do ot want to waste my time. any help or info would be greatly appreciated as i know there is a very inteligent group of people here :) thanks in advance
