IN SOME STATES YOUR EMPLOYER CAN FIRE YOU AT WILL. I AM NOT SO
FAMILIAR WITH CA LAWS. IN MY OPINION, IF YOU'RE REALLY
INTERESTED IN PERSUING THIS WRONGFUL TERMINATION THING, THEN
HIRE AN ATTORNEY THAT SPECIALIZES IN THAT. ASK AROUND OR JUST
GO ONLINE AND DO A SEARCH. IF YOUR WC CASE IS STILL IN
LITIGATION OR ONGOING, TRY TO FOCUS ON THAT AS WELL. GOOD LUCK!
