Q: I was working for amazon when I came down with symptoms for COVID-19. Can I sue then for wrongful termination?
This was before America had any knowledge of the virus. I came down with all of the symptoms and a horrible full body rash. The hospital also had no idea what was going on. Amazon let me go because I couldn’t work due to me being extremely sick. Can I sue for wrongful termination?
A:
You may be able to pursue a claim against Amazon. Contact an employment law attorney as soon as possible to discuss your situation in more detail.
