More details to this question:
I had hurt my shoulder at home 18 months ago. I only took two days offf right after doing it. I worked my job being a QC inspector of houses for national cleaning company plus he had me out cleaning houses also. which I did my job 110%. But than to be blindsided and the reason for firing me was not doing my job for 18 months was wrong I had never had any write ups or verbal warnings. The said I had done nothing to fix my rotator cuff tear. But yet I was/am still seeing the orthopedic surgeon. Which never gave me any restrictions or anything saying I couldn't do my job... I'm told that I was wrongfully terminated and I feel I was. If I was so bad at my job why was I kept for 18 months working when he knew my shoulder was injured.

Not sure if you have filed for workers comp but that should be explored. Not enough information just here to see if any law is violated but there is not a "wrongful termination" law to generically rely upon only statutory protections which this may or may not fall under
consult a lawyer and Remember is you did not obtain work comp benefits you have only 2 years to file a petition
