fired due to violation of FMLA

I was fired from my job of 14 years. They said I violated my FMLA leave. I have it for headaches. I called into work one morning and 7 hours later I felt better. I went to the bank and store. They had someone watching me and called me into work and fired me. I have nothing on my FMLA that says I cannot go out and the work day was almost over. They offered me to resign and draw unemployment or be fired. Do I have a case to get a settlement.

It depends on all the facts as to whether you have a case or not. I would need to know how often you have headaches, the intensity, the treatment, and the actual FMLA documentation. The fact that they had someone watching you would cause me to look to know your past history too. You would need a real consultation.
