If you are injured on the job and later terminated by your employer you may have the right to file a claim under either state or federal employment laws that govern wrongful discharge and discrimination on the job. Employment laws vary in different jurisdictions². Therefore， if you feel that you were fired or discriminated³ against due to an injury sustained on the job， you should consult with an attorney who is experienced in workers' compensation and related laws. It is important to understand that there are specific deadlines for filing claims against your employer for wrongful discharge or discrimination.

　　翻译：

　　如果因公受伤，后又遭老板解雇，根据州或联邦的劳工雇佣法（此法适用对雇员的错误解雇和工作中的歧视问题），劳工雇佣法在不同的司法管辖权范围内存在差异，因此，如果你因职业伤痛遭到解雇或歧视，你应当向在劳工赔偿法等方面有着丰富经验的律师咨询。对你错误解聘或歧视的老板提出诉讼最需要弄清楚的一点是不要错过保护期限。
