My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: Texas
I fell on the job recently and strained a muscle in my lower back, so I was asked to fill out an injury report. I then had to go to the business' doctor to take a drug test and get checked out. I had been told to take physical therapy and to be on light duty. The first night I went back I felt like I couldn't accomplish much of anything, so I was taken off the schedule for a few days after.
The drug test results came back positive, and I was surprised of the results. I openly admitted that previously I had used marijuana, but it was around 4 months ago, right after I moved here. They wouldn't allow me to retake my test or get the actual test results sent to me, regardless of it being linked to my social security number. I got terminated, I haven't completed my physical therapy or gone for my check up to see how everything is. Can they just simply cancel out my appointments as of termination even though I asked to be retested? Is there anything I can do legally to fix this problem?
