Termination For Filing A Workers Compensation Claim

Workers' Compensation
Claim Retaliation

Many injured workers hesitate to file workers’ compensation claims because they worry they will lose their jobs or be demoted. Unfortunately, that fear becomes a reality all too often. Even though state law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for filing workers’ compensation claims, such misconduct still occurs. You have the right to file for workers’ compensation without fear of retaliation. If your employer has taken adverse action against you for filing a claim, or has threatened to do so, you may be entitled to legal recourse such as damages and reinstatement.

Navigating Complexities And Avoiding Pitfalls

Filing claims for workers’ compensation retaliation can be complicated. They can involve multiple areas of state and federal law. They often require navigating rules and procedures for administrative agencies such as the California Department of Fair Housing and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In some cases, they may proceed to court.

Generally, you must report the retaliation or discrimination within one year after it occurred. It is important to act quickly to preserve your rights.
