Q: Can I sue my dr?
I had turned in paperwork for FMLA to my dr at an appointment. I filled everything out on my end and paid the fee to have it done. I was fired from my job of 10 years due to points and the fact that the fmla paperwork didn't get turned in. Before the due date of my paperwork I had called my dr and they had informed me it would be turned in asap. We went to the dr yesterday to find out what happened and they said I fell through the cracks and that they messed up badly. For this mess up (that I reminded them of) I lost my job of 10 years. They are admitting fault to this.
A: Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local employment law attorney who can review all the facts of the situation and your termination and advise you, and then contact your employer about any violation of FMLA that the employer might have done. That might get your job back.
