Workers’ Compensation and Retaliation: What You Need to Know

Transcript: Most people know that they have the right to workers’ compensation benefits if they’re hurt on the job but what they may not know is they also have the right to be free from retaliation if they ask for those workers’ compensation benefits. Employees who report workers’ compensation injuries cannot be fired because they make those reports. If you report a workers’ compensation injury and your company fires you, you should give our office a call so we can walk through the law with you and determine if you may have a claim for retaliatory discharge. Our consultations are always free and you can call us anytime and we’ll be happy to listen to your concerns.
