If you were fired after your on-the-job injury, or if you were terminated after filing a workers’ compensation case, your employer may be guilty of unlawful retaliation.

Following a work-related injury, the relationship between a worker and the employer can often become sour. Often, the employer thinks the employee is “faking it”, or “milking the claim”, or simply stopping the employer from being able to meet goals while the injured employee is away from the job. Often, the aggravation felt by the employer can result in unlawful retaliation towards the injured employee.

What constitutes unlawful retaliation following a work injury?

Employers are generally prohibited from discriminating (or retaliating) against an employee who has:

• made a claim for worker compensation in good faith
• consulted with or hired a lawyer to represent the employee in a claim
• filed a workers’ compensation claim against the employer’s insurance company, or
• has testified (or is planning to testify) in an administrative proceeding regarding a claim for workers’ compensation.
