Can my employer fire me after a workers' comp injury?
Employers cannot fire you for making a workers' compensation claim, or for hiring a lawyer on your workers’ compensation case. However, the employer can fire you for a number of other reasons and we recommend you not give the employer a cause for the termination.
We also recommend that you accept a restricted duty offer of employment by the employer even if it is a different job position. We stress to our clients NOT to resign as that will likely cut off future TIB payment by the workers’ compensation company.
