Your Right to Workers' Comp Benefits FAQ

What if my employer tells me not to file a workers' compensation claim or threatens to fire me if I do?

In most states, it is a violation of the workers' compensation laws to retaliate against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim. If this happens, immediately report it to your local workers' compensation office.

Further Resources

For more information on workers' compensation benefits, contact your state's workers' compensation office. Or, if you live in California and are filing a workers' compensation claim, refer to California Workers' Comp: How to Take Charge When You're Injured on the Job, by attorney Christopher Ball (Nolo).
