Your question does not provide enough detail to fully analyze this situation. The answer depends on whether you have an enforceable non-compete or non-solicitation agreement with your former employer. You should consult an employment attorney in your area for advice.
I was hurt late last summer as I fell/thrown off the side of a goose neck trailer. I was taken to a Concentra for a drug test not for my injury. I never went to the doctor thinking I was just bruised and also having no insurance. I also never said that my back was still hurting because of the... Read more »
I'm sorry for your ordeal. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be treated as a personal injury case because it looks like it took place in the course of employment. In terms of no insurance, if there was workers' comp if effect, that might have covered medical expenses. A WC attorney could... Read more »

This does not sound like a criminal law question but maybe you could file a small claims lawsuit in civil court. Contact the Justice of the Peace court for the address where the work was done.
I was denied employment a few years ago due to my criminal history that is now sealed through an order of non-disclosure. Can the employer use this now that it is sealed? Should I attempted to reapply? Thank you.
The employer can continue to use any old records they might still have from your first application. If the employer uses data directly from Texas DPS then it usually only takes them a few weeks to stop reporting the case. However, most employers get background reports from third-party data...

I am in Louisiana. My case is going into its final appeal because they made the decision before they saw any of my evidence that I faxed. My boss not only paid in $1,400 to an employee that was fired, which was part of my quarterly income, but then he skipped a quarter of my income. Then he paid me... Read more »

My employer told those who qualified would receive pay from March 19th- April 2nd. We were just told today that we would not be receiving said pay the day before we would get paid. Just wondering if they actually can do that.
I would look at the promise to pay as a contract type of agreement. To have a legal contract there must be an offer and acceptance and "consideration". "Consideration" means that each party agrees to provide something of value to the other. This can be an affirmative offering... Read more »
