It all depends on how long you were employed there, and what your terms of employment are. If you're a union member, speak with your Rep..

Dominos is a franchise. It's highly possible that your particular store didn't have coverage, so had to pay out of pocket. But it's pretty reasonable, and logical, to think that an employee will get fired, for SOME reason, after suing the employer. If you sue your friend, I don't think you can expect a Christmas card from them any more. Same thing for an employer. Most likely, they can fire you. It's highly doubtful you are a member of a union, or have a written employment contract with them. **And it's not illegal to fire you while you're out on workers comp. Unless you are a union employee, and/or have a written contract that says otherwise, an employer does NOT have to hold your job open for you, while you are out.**

Yes your employer can fire you. I don't know where you are from, but if you have no fault insurance, then look into your policy, you may be entitled to accident income replacement benefits. I was in the exact same situation as you are, and yes I lost my job. I was hurt very badly, but my policy covered me for accident income replacement. Also if you decide to sue the driver of the other vehicle, you can sue for loss of income, and loss of future income. Then your lawyer should connect you with a case manager that can help you find suitable employment that works with your physical and or cognitive deficits. Please look carefully at your policy, alot of this information is not made readily available. Also most lawyers offer a free 1/2 hour consult, you might want to consider that. Good luck, I feel for you!

Yes they can unless it was in a company car or truck and it wasn't your fault. That falls under workman's comp. If it was your personal car or truck and you can't preform your job then yes they can fire you. This is why you need to get a lawyer because you need to then sue the other person for loss of pay. Oh by the way if your company does fire you then you don't need to work for a company that doesn't care about the people that work for them, they should understand what happened and work with you on it. Why can't they make you file papers all day or something?

Unless you were at fault, you can't be fired for having been in a collision. You CAN be fired for being unable to do your job.

If you can't work, then yes they can fire you. Unless, as someone above me said, it falls under work comp.
Maybe it doesn't seem fair, but that is what insurance is for.
