More details to this question:
I was working doing they work I do and one day I hurt my back and my boss told me to take a few days off that I was going to get pay for it. Well when I come back to work my boss told me that I was on extreme light duty no lifting or pulling or bending or pick up anything. We’ll be for lunch he talks to me tell me he was talk to the other boss and that he told me that the company was let me go because I'm not fit for this job. This job is not for me that everyone here are healthily to work here so I want to know if the company can lay me off do to what happen and to do my weight. What can I do or who can I talk to about this?

Under federal law, if an employer has 15 or more employees and they fire an injured worker with a disability, the worker could file a complaint for disability discrimination with the EEOC. Our law firm handles cases like that all over the USA.
