Can my boss fire me for filing a workers compensation claim after I was hurt on the job?

A: Technically, it is against the law for an employer to fire you because you filed a Florida workers’ comp claim. Employers are not supposed to discriminate against a hurt employee who even attempts to file a workers’ compensation claim.

If you can prove that your boss fired you because you filed a workers’ compensation claim, then you may be able to file a civil lawsuit against your boss to seek damages. Even if you employer forced you to resign due to your injuries, you may still have a legal case against your boss.

Work-related injuries involving workers’ compensation cases can be tricky. It is a good idea to have help from a knowledgeable Florida workers’ compensation attorney.
