You may have grounds for wrongful termination, particularly if the company did not follow due process or their own internal policies. Additionally, you may be able to file a claim for compensation related to your knee injury, as the company is obligated to provide a safe working environment. Consulting with an employment lawyer would be advisable to explore your specific legal options and determine the best course of action.
