Worker's Compensation Discrimination

Getting injured on the job is one of the risks of employment. Thus, when an employee gets hurt or sick for work-related causes, the employer is required by law to pay for worker’s compensation benefits.

Worker’s compensation is provided in lieu of the right of the employee to sue the employer for tort or negligence. On a practical note, disruption of work and strained working relationship are avoided through worker’s compensation.

The problem lies when an employee files a claim and the employer retaliates by firing an employee. In this case, a worker’s compensation discrimination is committed. Essentially, it is illegal to fire an employee only because a worker’s compensation benefit is filed.

Our Los Angeles workers compensation lawyer handles both employers and employees cases involving workers compensation discrimination.

Oftentimes, employers commit retaliatory acts against an employee who files claim for worker’s compensation to intimidate others and prevent them from filing the same claims. Not only it is against the law but it also threatens the safety and health of injured workers.
