    Default Terminated After Work Injury And FMLA Leave

    Hello. I fell at work and injured my leg. I was hurt in july06. I had an mri done and found out i had a torn acl,mcl,and lcl. Comp sends me to a Surgeon in August. He drains my knee and talks about having surgery. I wait for comp to approve the surgery. Comp calls me and tells me their trying to settle on a price with surgeon. I wait. Now its October and i'm frustrated. They call again and tell me the surgeon wants to much money, so their looking for a cheaper one. I had enough of that. I went to Human Resources at my job and when i used the word lawyer everyone wanted to help me out. I had a date set for surgery the next day. Surgery set for Dec, 8. Had the sugery. Then i get a letter from work saying my FMLA has run out on Dec 15, which i didn't even know i was on. The letter said if i dont reply by 1/5/07 i would be terminated. The letter came through ups, so i tracked the shipping on it. The letter wasn't even sent out until the 5th. I recieved it on the 8th. I go to my job and they tell me i'm fired but if i come back by a certain amount of time i'll still have my job. Now i feel i'm being rushed back from a major surgery. Are they messing with me or do i need a Lawyer? Thanks! I work in Mass live in R.I.
