Can I be fired after being injured in an accident?

Video Summary

• The default rule in Kansas and Missouri regarding employment is the at-will employment doctrine, allowing employers to terminate employees for any reason or no reason at all.
• There are exceptions to the at-will employment doctrine, such as civil rights laws and non-discrimination laws that protect certain classes, including individuals with disabilities.
• If an employee believes they were wrongfully terminated, it may be considered separately from their injury case.
• Employment agreements or contracts with employers can override the at-will employment doctrine, providing specific rights and remedies for employees, which should be examined in such cases.
