A: Technically, it is against the law for an employer to fire you because you filed a 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 your 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 Sunrise workers’ compensation attorney. Call David Benenfeld at (954) 677-0155(954) 677-0155 today, for a free consultation.
