Question
Can I be fired for getting a lawyer to help with my short term disability?
Answer
I don’t believe you can get fired from a job for getting an attorney to assist with a short term disability claim. That being said, if you are no longer protected by FMLA or some other contractual agreement with the employer you could be let go by the company. From the additional information you provided it sounds like your appeal for STD was also denied. Depending on the insurance carrier your only recourse may be to file a lawsuit to secure the STD benefits.
