I am sorry to hear about your broken ankle. Such an injury can take months of rehabilitation including surgery and physical therapy depending on the extent of the injury. If you believe that your injury was caused by your employer deliberately putting you in a dangerous situation that led to your injury, you may be eligible for compensation. If you believe that you were fired because of that injury, you should take advantage of the free consultation that most personal injury lawyers offer. A personal injury attorney will consider the facts of your case and will be able to evaluate whether or not you have a claim against your employer.
