I was recently hired at a restaurant/ convenience store, I worked one shift. When I went in the next day they sent me home and asked me to send them my food handler's card. I e-mailed it, asked my supervisor via text if she had received the e-mail and got no response. Went into work the next day and she told me she hadn't received it and not to come back in until she called me. It's been two weeks and she hasn't called me. I left her a voicemail yesterday. I have not been notified of a termination in my employment verbally or in writing. It's like an ex boyfriend who is trying to avoid me. Can I legally do anything about this?

That is a great question! The answer is, it depends. If there is outright and proveable negligence on the part of the employer, the insurer may have cause to either deny paying the claim (under the employers's liability coverage), or pay the claim to the injured party(ies), and then litigate the employer to recover the damages.

Only if it was due to their negligence. If it can be proven that they were looking after his best interests (i.e. no negligence was involved), then no. And it would probably have to be a specific doctor that you sue, not the hospital.
