Protecting Employee Rights – Injury at Work Legal Support
Employers are required to follow certain policies and carry out certain responsibilities when one of their employees is injured on the job. As an example, it is against the law for employers to intimidate, harass, discriminate against, fire, or in any way retaliate against an employee who files a claim for workers’ compensation benefits.
If you sustain an injury at work, your rights are important to know. If you believe that you have been denied your rights as an injured employee or in some way have been treated unlawfully by your employer or its insurer, our team can help.
