Retaliation for Filing Workers' Compensation Claims

Maybe you hurt your back at work and didn't go the doctor right away. But when you finally did, your employer used that as an excuse to fire you. That just isn't right.

Retaliation by an employer against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim is against the law. However, that doesn't mean employers don't try to get away with it. At Eddy Law Firm in Oklahoma City, numerous clients come to us with complaints about this. We put all our investigative powers and employment law experience to work on behalf of the worker who has been retaliated against, because we believe in protecting workers' rights.

FMLA and ADA Requests

Employers often retaliate against employees who are attempting to exercise their rights under the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) or the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Workers who ask for leave or accommodations under these two federal laws have a right to expect that their employers will comply with the law and regulations applicable to FMLA and ADA cases. When employers break the rules, our lawyers can go to work ensuring that workers have remedies. If you have been retaliated against or someone you know has faced employment retaliation for making a workers' compensation claim or any other leave or disability request, please contact us for advice and representation.
