More details to this question:
Hi. I quit my job to pursue a better opportunity. I gave my employet the required two weeks notice. My employer asked that I take the two weeks off and she would pay me because I was going to work for the competitor. Well not to my knowledge she terminated my insurance on my last day at the office instead of after the two additional weeks and then I was not notified about cobra. Long story short a week after I left I was injured and now I'm left with all these medical bills. Do I have a ligitament case?

You must be notified about your right to purchase your own insurance under COBRA. There is also a 'look back' provision whereby you can get the insurance 60 days after your departure. You should speak with your former insurance provider. Ed Dimon 732-797-1600
