In July 2013 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident while on a work break off work property. I ended up being off work for over a year and a half. I had attempted once(spe 2013) to do modified duties that my employer provided me with but he went against all my restrictions on my functional ability sheets proved them with. I had provided my employer with doctor notes and in November 2013 my doctors note stated I can not return to work until further investigation is done towards my injuries I have substaned. March 2014 my employer notified me that my health benefits will be terminated after I was denied LTD. Before I could fight if an appeal my benifits were terminated. I always continued to pay my premiums for my health benefits right up to the termination date. I recently tried to return to work in February 2015 and my employer states that I have lost my position due to job abandonment and that I failled to provide them with medical reports. I no longer have a job at the company I have work for for the past 16 1/2 yrs. do I have a strong case to hire a lawyer?
