He received a letter after 2 weeks telling him he was let go as of 2 days after the incident.

Yes. I am angry.
I don't blame you.

Here is an example of a company with ethics. Several years ago my niece was attacked by a dog at work. She worked at an animal shelter. She was part-time so didn't have any insurance. They paid all of her medical bills and welcomed her back when she could return to work. She continued to work there for several years after that.
