My landlord asked me to remove and hang 16 sheets of drywall for them for $200(barely got that rate out of them) with them getting the drywall delivered to the basement I said ...so monday he showed up with home depot van and gets me to help unload the drywall. They are 2 sheets together when they come new. I was in the awkward spot stepping off side walk and back on and taking the furthest swing. So mu landlord I'd older and I was doing the bulk and he sat his end down first and then I flipped up into the wall. Well afterwards I was also asked to install 3 locks on the bedroom doors. So I felt a little stiff but thought nothing of it. Well after about an hour my back was starting to hurt. Bit to bad but I definitely pulled something well by the night rolls around I can barely move get out of bed or walk to the bathroom. I get up the next day and I'm in horrible pain can barely walk. I told my landlord they said we will get someone else to do the work and her husband gets on the ph and says his back is fine and I said well mine not and they said I'm lying. Well fast forward today it's still really bad and I'm going to go to the doctor to see what I did to it cause its not getting any better. I am also behind on my rent and I just started a sales job with a comping song roofs its commission based smd I dont get paid till the job is complete which I told them and next friday I will have rent and after that it won't happen again cause the season is just starting and it was my first batch. A salesman can make 200k in a season. Well they went and called my boss and said why dintvu pay your employees what kind of person doesn't pay there workers. They also said they think I'm going to make a false claim about my back. Well my boss was not to happy about being a accused of not paying his employees after I explain next Friday I will have the rent and then I will be on time after that but they choose to call me boss. Well my boss let me go so I dont have a job anymore. And as of right now I can't even work. They laughed at the whole situation when I told then I got fired. What can I do about this
