Timing has everything to do with the amount of success in proving a Florida workers’ compensation retaliation claim. If Broward County employees file a complaint or claim and suspect that they are being punished for doing so, then the court will likely look at the timing of events. That is, precisely the amount of time which transpired between the employee’s complaint and the employer’s retaliation. If it can be proven that the boss’s reaction shortly followed, then the plaintiff has stronger grounds of proof. In some cases, the employer will try to prove that he/she had strong grounds for terminating, demoting, or changing the employee’s status. But, if the response is in close proximity to when the complaint was filed, then a Sunrise workers’ compensation attorney will be able to show a link between the two events. For example, the employee should be able to produce a history of documentation including emails and reviews that show the employer’s pleasure before the complaint occurred.
