refused post accident urine screen
by N.K.M
(Indiana)
I was on the clock for 7 hrs then left the mill to deliver pig feed to 7 different farms in Indiana. I fell asleep behind the wheel 9 hrs into shift just before my 1st stop.
I had bruised ribs which turns out they are broken... I can feel them stabbing me from the inside. I met supervisor that evening at emergency room asked for drug screen they didn't do screens for employers.
After hrs in ER I used restroom and 20 minutes later was asked to pee by supervisor. I refused because i had been up for 18 hrs, had been in a pretty serious CMV accident, in the worst pain of my life at the time... It has gotten worse!
Had to pick my 8 month old son from babysitter, and I had been texting supervisor all evening. He could have said found someone to take urine screen.
They terminated me days later for refusing screen!!! I need more medical care and they said if I take them to court and lose that I get 000000 NOTHING!
I would have to pay almost 10k in med bills for night of crash out of pocket... Or settle for 5k plus paid medical bills???
Can I win a case after refusing post accident drug screen?
