I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's situation. In the District of Columbia, she may have a case for wrongful termination or retaliation under workers' compensation laws.
Here are a few key points:
- Workers' Compensation: If an employee is injured on the job, they are typically protected under workers' compensation laws and should not be fired for seeking medical treatment.
- Retaliation: Firing an employee for seeking medical attention for a work-related injury might be considered retaliation.

I'm sorry about the confusion earlier. Since the accident happened at home and you live in South Carolina, your daughter might not have a wrongful termination case based on workers' compensation laws. However, she could potentially have a case for wrongful termination under other employment laws.
