About Employer Retaliation Workers' Comp Attorneys
Employer retaliation after a workers' comp claim is a serious legal violation — and unfortunately, it happens. Retaliation can take many forms: termination, demotion, reduced hours, hostile work environment, or being passed over for promotions. If you experienced any of these after filing a claim, you may have both a workers' comp case AND a separate retaliation lawsuit that can result in additional damages including lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
Common Case Types
- Termination after filing a claim
- Demotion or pay cuts post-injury
- Sudden 'performance issues' after injury
- Hostile work environment following claim
- Exclusion from work activities post-injury
- Threats related to workers' comp filing
