You may have, and you may have other causes of action too.
You should speak with a lawyer about what happened to you.
Ask them up front how much, if anything, the initial conference will cost. Some lawyers might take your case on a contingency basis; if you don't win it won't cost you anything.

Although normally employment is considered at will in most states, you may have a case under the Americans With Disabilities Act. You may also have a workers compensation claim as well, since your employer's actions caused your injury.
Talk to a lawyer.

first off in this country you always have a case no matter what the circumstances are.
now, do you remember when you started, did your boss show you a book called "haz com, hazardous communication, or msds book? you would have signed a paper acknowledging that you saw it and know what it is for and where it is. if not call OSHA. and shut them down.
as far as a lawsuit goes, nobody here can tell you. call a lawyer and ask them if they'll take your case. cause without a lawyer on your side, it doesn't matter what any of us say
good luck

it relatively relies upon on distinctive factors. before everything in case you're interior the U.S. you have the superb to call OSHA concerning this. they are the arm of the government that protects the protection and wellbeing of the employees. yet with regard to your termination: Do you have a replica of the date and time you left the be conscious and what grow to be reported on the be conscious. it would matter on who the be conscious grow to be given to and no remember if or no longer they stored the be conscious or no longer and no remember if it grow to be sparkling. For destiny reference, a thank you to grant your self with protection is to get a doctor's be conscious conserving which you would be able to no longer artwork around particular products and it needs to settle for to the human components branch, no longer the supervisor. i comprehend it incredibly is high priced to circulate to the healthcare expert, yet that scientific be conscious creates a reason to go with a reasonable accomodation for you interior the area of labor. additionally shop a replica of the be conscious and ask the HR guy or woman to sign your replica of the be conscious with their initials and the date and time they gained the be conscious. The human components branch will ought to work out if a reasonable accomodation might nicely be made for you. If it may, then the supervisor ought to artwork around this situation. If no longer, they might discover out which you're no longer medically waiting to artwork there and in case you're no longer medically waiting to artwork there, a minimum of you isn't uncovered to particular fumes or chemical compounds. The worst component you're able to do isn't notify your corporation however. The corporation has a real to renowned you could no longer artwork around particular chemical compounds. once you went to the emergency room, did you notify the supervisor precise? Did you have him call somebody for you or did you in basic terms circulate away and tell somebody you have been leaving. in case your supervisor grow to be no longer conscious once you left why you have been leaving, it relatively is seen strolling off the activity. i might propose going into HR and explaining this. possibly you probably can get your activity lower back. If no longer, it relatively is recommended to seek for advice from a great lawyer. yet bear in mind that regardless of if the lawyer wins, you could nicely be subject to paying the courtroom expenses and legal experts expenses. on the least, i might report for unemployment! you haven't any longer something to lose via doing so.
