Worker's Compensation Retaliation

Worker's compensation retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim or participating in the process, such as reporting an injury. This can include actions like firing, demoting, or discriminating against the employee. Such retaliation is illegal under wrongful termination laws, designed to protect workers’ rights. Employees are entitled to seek compensation for their injuries without fear of losing their job. If an employee believes they have been retaliated against, they may have grounds for a legal claim against their employer to seek justice and remedies.
